Are you curious or concerned about the state of our forests and trees? For this ThINC Tank we will be screening a presentation and discussion from Transition Salt Spring and the Salt Spring Island Conservancy by British Columbia’s top scientific experts on trees, forest ecology, and the effects of climate change: Dr. Andy MacKinnon and Dr. Richard Hebda. In this, they explore Salt Spring's current condition and future forecast for forests and trees. Post screening, we will discuss how this applies to Thetis Island forest health.
