DESCRIPTION:Large and rapidly growing sums of money are being spent on planting trees 
 with the aim of combatting myriad environmental problems. Large-scale 
 reforestation has the potential to conserve biodiversity, sequester carbon, 
 and provide for human livelihoods, but will accomplish little if trees do 
 not survive and grow. At worst these initiatives can have unintended, 
 negative consequences such as destroying ancient grasslands, reducing water 
 supply, and increasing social conflicts. \n\nDr. Karen Holl, Professor of 
 Environmental Studies at UC Santa Cruz, will discuss what we can and cannot 
 achieve from tree planting and how we can improve project outcomes. She 
 will discuss research from her lab evaluating how well the many non-profit 
 organizations and private companies who support tree growing projects are 
 following best practices for successful, long-term 
 reforestation.\n\nCommunity-led Learning Presenter Bio:\n\nKaren Holl is a 
 Professor of Environmental Studies at UC Santa Cruz. She studies 
 restoration of rain forests in Latin America and coastal ecosystems in 
 California. She advises various local and international organization on 
 ecological restoration and tree growing projects. \n
