The
Incredible Gift of Trees

The Incredible Gift of Trees is part of the Community Nature Education Series at Placerita Canyon Nature Center. Astrophotographer and lifelong tree lover John Favalessa gives an indoor presentation on the role trees play on the planet and in all life, from moving water from the ground into the sky to supporting wildlife and people. The programme covers seeing trees as living systems rather than scenery and is designed to be fun, thought-provoking and kid-friendly. Favalessa is a math major and astrophotographer whose work spans scales from galaxies to living cells. Admission is free, all ages are welcome, and the classroom is ADA accessible.
