Everyone seems to have different views about climate change nowadays. How have thousands of years of changing climates shaped our ecosystems and plant species? Which of the current changes are part of natural cycles and which are caused by humans? Let’s explore these greatest scientific experiments and see how they are impacting our plant communities and changing our landscapes.
The good news is there are still plenty of opportunities for each of us to make positive ripples. From native plants to habitat restoration, and from greening urban heat islands to living more efficiently, we will explore the many ways California is combating climate change, drought, global warming, and other environmental stresses, while improving the quality of our lives.
Join professor emeritus, naturalist, and author William Selby, touring with his most recent publication,
 The California Sky Watcher
 as we search for some silver linings during these uncertain times. We will end this event with a walk around the Theodore Payne Foundation's demonstration gardens to test our ability to use critical thinking and apply scientific methods to better understand the changing world around us. Bring your curiosity, questions, and input!
This class will be held both indoors and outdoors. We strongly encourage comfortable walking shoes and warm layers. Copies of his book will be available for purchase.
