LA Climate Week: A tale of two trees

Register here. Address will be provided to all registered attendees. ​

Coast Live Oak and western Joshua tree are keystone species in their respective communities, but both face regional and climate-related threats. For LA Climate Week, join Altadena Seed Library and the Mojave Desert Land Trust for a deep and interactive exploration of these iconic species through the potency of seeds. Learn about some of the challenges these iconic species face, the role they play in their communities, and why humans need to protect them for our own survival.

​Attendees will come to understand the Mojave Desert Seed Bank’s groundbreaking work around the Joshua tree, and how resources like seed libraries and conservation seed banking can preserve vital species across Southern California and beyond. Study seeds under the microscope, process seeds in community, and make your voice heard through advocacy campaigns.

Presenters:

Nina Raj, Founder, Altadena Seed Library

Kelly Herbinson, Executive Director, Mojave Desert Land Trust

Patrick Emblidge, Plant Conservation Program Manager, Mojave Desert Land Trust
