Science Café - Ohio’s Forests – Planning for Threats: Climate Change, Invasives, and More

Description: 
Stephen Matthews, assistant professor of Wildlife Landscape Ecology in the School of Environment and Natural Resources will discuss Ohio’s Forests – Planning for Threats: Climate Change, Invasives, and More at the March 1 Science Café. Once covering nearly 95 percent of Ohio, forests have been, and still are, rich sources of industry, recreation, clean water, biodiversity, and beauty that underpin our well-being. Research, teaching, and outreach at The Ohio State University has helped nurture Ohio’s forests and people, and a new exhibit at the iconic Thompson Library called Building Ohio State highlights Ohio’s forests. Yet, threats to the vitality and usefulness of Ohio’s forests continue to emerge. The presentation will discuss emerging threats and management challenges faced in our forests and relay how current management aims to maintain the services forests provide. March's Science Café will be held in 165 Thompson Library and starts at 6:30 p.m. Parking is available in the Tuttle Park Parking Garage on campus.
