Saving Our Redwoods in a Changing Climate

While public debate continues, forests and natural systems are already adapting to a rapidly changing climate. The real challenge isn’t just environmental - it’s how we understand risk and respond as a society.

In this lecture, Dr. Chris Swanston, Director of Science at Save the Redwoods League, draws on decades of research to explore how our thinking about climate change has evolved - and where it falls short.

By looking at how forests respond to change, this talk reveals what climate change is already teaching us - and how we can adapt in more thoughtful, constructive ways.
