About the lecture:

“An eye-opening and enchanting book by one of our major scientist-explorers.” — Diane Ackerman, author ofThe Zookeeper’s Wife

旅程“CanopyMeg”,也被称为“真实的-Life Lorax” byNational Geographicand “Einstein of the treetops” byWall Street Journal, as she takes us on an adventure into the “eighth continent” of the world’s treetops. Come hear about Meg’s journey as a tree scientist, and her expertise with climate action and forest conservation. Meg connects to audiences across what she calls the “K through Gray” spectrum, meaning just about everyone.

“CanopyMeg,” a biologist, botanist, and conservationist, is also the world’s first global arbornaut (i.e., treetop explorer). More than 30 years ago, she first climbed tropical trees using ropes and a slingshot and planned one of the world’s first walkways. Meg’s mantra is, “No child left indoors!”
