“The Language of Trees” will feature a conversation between Alison Hawthorne Deming, author of "Zoologies: On Animals and the Human Spirit", and Kathleen Dean Moore, author of "Earth's Wild Music: Celebrating and Defending the Songs of the Natural World". The event will foster a dialogue around the language of trees: how they communicate with one another, and how their futures are shaped by the language with which humans describe them. Moderating the event is Mary Evelyn Tucker, co-author of "Journey of the Universe" and co-founder of Yale’s Forum on Religion and Ecology.
