Ruth Wallen has been walking with trees near her home in San Diego and northward to the southern Sierra Nevada for more than a decade, following the same trails repeatedly, present to the deaths of an increasing number of trees due to the intertwined impacts of beetles, both native and introduced, drought, fire, and climate change. In image and story, she will share her experiences of gratitude, grief, and vision. Please join us in a conversation with Ruth about learning with trees so that we can contribute to a future where all beings may flourish!
