Growing up among the tall forests near UBC, Ira Sutherland developed an appreciation and curiosity for forests early on. This talk invites his audience to explore Vancouver's extensive forests and to hopefully see trees in a new light (for more information, see [ Ссылка ]) Growing up among the tall forests near UBC, Ira developed an appreciation and curiosity for forests early on. He has explored extensively in the forests and mountains around Vancouver and has travelled widely abroad, often by bicycle or on remote forest research expeditions. He has become increasingly intrigued by remnant ancient forest ecosystems. Ira is now pursuing his PhD in UBC Forestry as a Vanier Canada Scholar. In his PhD he aims to tell a quantitative history of British Columbia’s forests through the lens of how people and their relationship with forests have evolved over time, and continue to evolve as they face new challenges under a changing climate. In an effort to engage the public to learn about old-growth forests and sustainability he employs use of film, photography, and story-telling. He is also now the chair of the BC Big Tree Committee, a Forester-in-Training, and author of a popular online Big Tree Hiking Guide for Vancouver. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
