The Cary Institute is thrilled to be hosting a screening of Trees in Trouble on March 11 at 7PM. Filmmaker Andrea Torrice and forest ecologist Gary Lovett will hold a Q&A after the film. The event is free and open to all!
Trees in Trouble tells the story of America's urban and community forests: their history, their growing importance to our health, economy, and environment - and the serious threats they now face from invasive pests and pathogens.
Through stories of everyday people on the frontlines of change, the film showcases how community efforts can save and protect our urban forests for future generations. Designed for audiences of all ages, Trees in Trouble inspires viewers to take action.
"Trees in Trouble tells the story of Cincinnati's response to the emerald ash borer. However, across the country, from Massachusetts to San Diego, Minneapolis to Charleston, thousands of communities face the same threat: valuable and beloved trees being killed by non-native insects or diseases. Trees in Trouble helps us understand what we are losing and links us to actions we can take to counter this tragedy." -Faith Campbell, Vice President, Center for Invasive Species Prevention
A Q&A with filmmaker Andrea Torrice and forest ecologist Gary Lovett will follow the screening.
