PENDLETON — Geoffrey Donovan will discuss how exposure to the natural environment — particularly trees — is associated with a wide range of positive health outcomes during the March Climate Conversation Program.
A research forester with the Pacific Northwest Research Station, Donovan will present “Life, Death and Trees” on Tuesday, March 21, at 7 p.m. via Zoom. He said there is increasing scientific evidence to support his claim, including a pair of studies that focused on trees and human mortality.
In 2001, Donovan received a Ph.D. in forest economics from Colorado State University. He has worked as an economist for the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service in Alaska and Oregon. His current research focus is quantifying the benefits of urban forests.
The online event is hosted by the Eastern Oregon Climate Change Coalition, referred to as EOC3, which invites people to have an open and respectable dialogue about the changing climate. To request login information, email info@eoc3.org. For more about the coalition, visit www.eoc3.org.
