2025 Winter Lecture Series: From Wasteland to Wonder – Easy Ways We Can Help Heal Earth in the Sub/Urban Landscape with Basil Camu (February 2, 2025)

Start
Sunday, February 2
End
Sunday, February 2
Time
2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

$15.00

Join Basil Camu of Leaf & Limb as he examines how the systems of photosynthesis and soil formation work and how they affect water, carbon and all other life on land. Learn how our current management of the suburban and urban landscape is damaging these systems and about the practices we can implement that help heal them based on first-hand expertise developed at Leaf & Limb. We’ll begin with the easiest concepts, like planting saplings and saving mature trees. Then we’ll move to some more challenging, more impactful approaches, like planting pocket forests and replacing our lawns with Piedmont prairies. Finally, for those who want to help shift paradigms even more, we discuss how we can use the Project Pando model to work with our community to gather native seeds, raise them into trees and give them away for free.
Basil Camu pursues his purpose and passions as the co-founder of Leaf & Limb, a tree care company in Raleigh, NC, and Project Pando, a non-profit that aims to connect people to trees. He is a treecologist, ISA Board Certified master arborist and Duke graduate. He sits on some boards and has won some awards, but he still feels most accomplished when he causes his incredible wife (the real brains behind all of this) to fall into fits of uncontrollable laughter. When he’s not having fun at work, he likes to pull invasive plants from his pocket forests, contemplate on his front porch and go hiking with his family.
