Treekeepers: A Fireside Chat with Lauren E. Oakes
Wednesday, December 11, 3:00-4:00pm Eastern
Join the 1t.org US Community Collaborative for an engaging fireside chat with Lauren E. Oakes, conservation scientist, award winning author, and passionate advocate for forests as a climate solution.
In her latest book, Treekeepers, Oakes takes readers on a journey from the Scottish Highlands to the Panamanian jungle to meet the people working tirelessly to grow, regrow, and protect forests in the face of climate change. Whether you’re a climate advocate, nature enthusiast, or simply curious about the connection between people and forests, this fireside chat will offer a poetic and practical perspective on the work that lies ahead—and the beauty that surrounds us today.
We hope you will join us!

Addressing Challenges
Operating through thematic convenings on critical topics and emerging trends, our Collaborative fosters innovation, shares best practices, and mobilizes resources to tackle pressing challenges. By engaging stakeholders at all levels and promoting inclusive decision-making processes, we strive to ensure that our actions are socially and ecologically responsible, guided by principles of equity, justice, and sustainability.
Fostering Innovation
Through capacity building, knowledge sharing, and fostering innovation, our sessions provide a dynamic platform for stakeholders to contribute expertise, collaborate on strategies, and align efforts toward our shared goals. Together, we believe that by working collaboratively and harnessing the power of nature-based solutions, we can make a meaningful difference in the fight against climate change, promote biodiversity, and enhance the resilience of ecosystems and communities in the US and worldwide.
