DESCRIPTION: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This panel will explore the significance of trees and forests in our daily lives and in the broader context of climate change. Why are the trees in our midst as important as those in the Amazon Rain Forest? Will global reforestation efforts have a gradual climate mitigation impact? What are the roles of arboretums, colleges and universities, and nonprofit environmental groups in promoting public awareness of the significance of trees and forests? How are tree and human histories intermingled?  Speakers will include representatives of Green Legacy Hiroshima and the Holden Forests & Gardens. The mission of Holden, located in Northeast Ohio, is to connect \u201cpeople with the wonder, beauty, and value of trees and plants, to inspire action for healthy communities.\u201d Green Legacy Hiroshima, a nonprofit in Japan, promotes the stories of \u201ccaution and hope that the unique survivor trees of Hiroshima represent, recalling on the one hand the dangers of arms of mass destruction and nuclear weapons in particular, and on the other hand the sacred character of mankind and the resilience of nature.\u201d Discussants from the departments of Biology, Environmental Studies, East Asian Studies, and Geology at Oberlin College, as well as community activists, will contribute perspectives and insights from their respective disciplines and frameworks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
