Comox Valley Nature is pleased to host the following free online lecture:
Title: Western redcedar dieback and community science in the Pacific Northwest
Speaker: Dr. Joseph Hulbert
Date: Sunday, September 19, 2021
Time: 7:00 p.m. PDT
This webinar is facilitated by the Canadian Society of Environmental Biologists and is open to the public (see the registration link below).
Western redcedar is a culturally, ecologically and economically important tree to western North America, but recent increases in dieback have raised concern about its vulnerability to hotter and dryer climates. Attend this presentation to learn about a community science approach to address the urgent need for information to aid decisions for climate adaptation.
Dr. Joey Hulbert is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Washington State University. He has a background in forest pathology and he is passionate about public engagement in science. He is currently the Program Director of Forest Health Watch, an initiative of WSU’s Ornamental Plant Pathology Program.
His motivation to lead this program stems from his experience establishing the Cape Citizen Science program in South Africa during his doctoral studies.
