Dr. Cathy Fitzgerald's talk, "Stories for a Wiser Forestry," at Edinburgh Botanic Gardens on March 27, 2023, addressed "The Right Tree in the Right Place." Responding to urgent IPCC warnings, she advocates for wiser ecological permanent forestry as an alternative to ecocidal clear-fell monoculture, fostering enduring well-being.
