SUMMARY:Herbicide Drift: Are Trees Impacted Here?
DESCRIPTION:Herbicide Drift. Are trees impacted here? How to recognize it? What’s being done?\nSpeaker: Kim Erndt-Pitcher\, Prairie Rivers Network Director of Ecological Health\nRegister for Zoom HERE \nHerbicide drift (trespass) has been an economic and ecological concern for decades. However in recent years\, there have been dramatic increases in the use of many popular herbicides in an effort to combat herbicide-resistant weeds. Widespread injuries to wild and cultivated plants have been reported since these increases in herbicide use began. Prairie Rivers Network’s Tree and Plant Health Monitoring Program has studied the impacts of drift for 7 years. This presentation will discuss the summary of 6 years of findings\, such as the long term impacts of herbicide drift to trees\, plants\, and ecosystem health in our new report “Hidden in Plain Sight”.

SUMMARY:Twilight in the Garden of Hope: Nature as Inspiration
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Kathy Ruttenberg\nMultidisciplinary artist (sculpture\, painting\, and animation) \nThe path to discovering my favorite medium which is clay has also bought me to putting my roots in the soil. Spiritually I find I am deeper into the woods as I explore my passion of wildlife habitats\, both plant and animal. I have become increasingly involved in learning about conservation which feeds the direction of my work . My ideas for sculptures blow around the mountain where I live as I walk through the woods with my head full of inspiration. Kathy Ruttenberg is an accomplished\, acclaimed multidisciplinary artist working in sculpture\, painting\, and animation. Her fantastical humanistic and nature installations have been displayed on Broadway in New York City\, and are permanently installed in the Tisch Children’s Zoo in New York’s Central Park and Battery Park and in the Mamiraua Sustainable Development Reserve in Amazonas\, Brazil. Her work has been exhibited at venues throughout the world including Stefan Stux Gallery\, New York; Sladmore Contemporary\, London; the Dubuque Museum of Art\, Iowa; the Caramoor Center for Music and Art\, New York; the International Ceramic Biennial\, France; the 5th World Ceramic Biennale Korea; and the 59th Faenza Prize International Competition of Contemporary Ceramic Art\, Italy. She and her work have been featured in media\, newspapers and publications\, including the New York Times Magazine\, the New Yorker\, The Boston Globe\, the Independent\, Artpress\, NY Post\, and the television news magazine CBS Sunday Morning. \nhttps://www.climateactionevanston.org/natural-habitat/nurturingnature
