    Are trees social beings? In The Hidden Life of Trees forester and author Peter Wohlleben convincingly makes the case that, yes, the forest is a social network. He draws on groundbreaking scientific discoveries to describe how trees are like human families: tree parents live together with their children, communicate with them, support them as they grow, share nutrients with those who are sick or struggling, and even warn each other of impending dangers. Wohlleben also shares his deep love of woods and forests, explaining the amazing processes of life, death, and regeneration he has observed in his woodland.

This illustrated presentation will explain the preservation, relocation, conservation and restoration of the Lost Mural. A visit to view the Lost Mural and learn more about its history will be scheduled for interested parties at a later date. Presented by Richard Kerschner, Coordinating Conservator for the Lost Mural Project. Co-sponsored by the Charlotte Senior Center.

    7:30 pm-9:00 pm

    Join the discussion.
    In the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election, Donald Trump and many around him, including certain other elected Republican officials, intentionally breached their oath to the Constitution: they ignored the rulings of dozens of courts, plotted to overturn a lawful election, and provoked a violent attack on our Capitol.   Liz Cheney, one of the few Republican officials to take a stand against these efforts, witnessed the attack first-hand, and then helped lead the Congressional Select Committee investigation into how it happened.
