What Is a Tree & How It Works: Exploring Ecological Roles (Interactive)

  • Wednesday, August 26, 2026, 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM

What makes trees so essential to life on Earth? Let’s learn together by exploring the anatomy and function of trees: from roots that anchor and absorb water, to trunks that provide structure, and leaves that capture sunlight. We’ll discover how each part plays a vital ecological role, including oxygen production, carbon capture, natural cooling, and providing habitat for wildlife. Through this exploration, we connect tree biology to the essential ecosystem services that support life in our communities and beyond.
