The Wonder of Trees

The Wonder of Trees In-Person / Online

Join us on Thursday, May 11 at 10:30 am for a special presentation on The Wonder of Trees with John Campanini from the Rhode Island Tree Council.

Trees have survived glaciation, meteor strikes and pestilence to today thrive among the harshest environments on the planet. How is this possible?  What has made them succeed while other species have failed? The answer lies in several special traits only found in trees. In ‘The Wonder of Trees’ we will take a fascinating look at these remarkable traits. In the end, you will have a deeper understanding and appreciation for how trees work and thrive despite all the odds.

Free and open to all. Registration is required with in-person and Zoom (online) options available!

After the presentation, seniors 60-years-of-age and older are invited to go down to the Peck Center for lunch at 11:45 am. Lunch can be enjoyed for a suggested donation of $3. Please call 401-247-1926 x201 to reserve your seat for lunch at least 24 hours before.
