(following Year of the Forest Birds presentation @5:30 p.m.)

Presented by Jazlee Crowley, PhD Graduate Student, Oregon State University Department of Integrative Biology

  • Learn about 3 years of transdisciplinary research that integrates Kauai community engagement with the biological ancestry of Bodhi trees here.
  • How about the ecological impact of non-native species and the intersection with the tree’s cultural and religious relevance?
