FREE Lecture
Toronto Botanical Garden

Trees for Life: Planting the Global Forest
Diana Beresford-Kroeger

Though schooled in classical botany, medical biochemistry, organic and radio-nuclear chemistry, as well as experimental surgery, Diana Beresford-Kroeger’s thoughts about trees are anything but classical. She has a collection of ideas, some radical, for how trees can be used to affect climate change as well as human health. According to Beresford-Kroeger, author of The Global Forest, we have yet to fully understand the function and contribution of trees. In this talk, Diana will espouse the intrinsic values of particular trees, explain her hopes for reforesting the planet, and share some of the lore that fuels her passion to continue her research on trees.

The Toronto Botanical Garden is located on the southwest corner of Leslie Street and Lawrence Avenue, 777 Lawrence Avenue East. To get more information, call 416-397-1341 or go online to www.torontobotanicalgarden.ca.
