FREE and open to all! Join the Linnaean Society of New York at 7pm, Tuesday, 1/12 for our Zoom presentation, “The Song of Trees: Stories from Nature’s Great Connectors,” by David Haskell, Ph.D.
What does a careful study of trees in cities (Manhattan, Denver, Jerusalem), forests (in the Amazon, Rockies, and boreal) and areas on the front lines of environmental change (eroding coastlines, burned mountainsides, and war zones) reveal about the natural world? Join us as Dr. Haskell shares how his research, and sensory study of place, demonstrates the biological connections that sustain all life and informs both ecology and ethics. An award-winning author and scientist, Dr. Haskell is renowned for his ability to integrate contemplative, literary, and scientific studies of the natural world. His first book, “The Forest Unseen,” was a finalist for the 2013 Pulitzer Prize in nonfiction while his second book, “The Songs of Trees,” was winner of the 2018 John Burroughs Medal and the 2020 Iris Book Award. Dr. Haskell, Ph.D., is a Professor of Biology and Environmental Studies at the University of the South in Sewanee, TN, and a Fellow of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation.
