Sustainable Futures Speaker Series
Humboldt State University Founders Hall
As part of the Sustainable Futures Speaker Series, George Wuerthner will present “Praise the Dead: Dead Trees and Healthy Forest Ecosystems.” George, an ecologist who worked for many years at the Foundation for Deep Ecology, will argue that the common definition of a “healthy forest” is skewed by an industrial forestry bias that sees anything that kills trees as negative. However, from an ecological perspective, a large number of species are dependent upon or enhanced by episodic mortality events such as wildfire and bark beetle outbreaks, and some researchers suggest these events are drivers of biodiversity. Location: Founders Hall 118, Humboldt State University
