Plant Allies Series at LICHEN CENTER presents a class on “The Forest for the Trees: Thoughtful and Respectful Tree Stewardship Where You Live” with Paul Oxman

This class will be an introduction to tending the trees where you live, both as individuals and also as a part of a vibrant and unique community. We will discuss some of the different elements of tree communities you're likely to encounter here, and we'll talk about what tending to those communities looks like. We'll also talk about balancing the needs of humans with the needs of trees, and about using resources with reverence. Bring your own examples of tree communities where you live, and we'll wrap those into our conversation.

Paul Oxman is a licensed arborist, clinical social worker, and sometimes teacher of psychology, so it's no wonder that he's ended up interested in the relational space that exists between and among trees and humans. Paul is the owner / operator of Canopy Tree Care, where every day sees him interacting with a different community of trees on this lovely peninsula.
