Bill Ripple LEcture series - new dates!

​From Wolves to the Warning to Humanity: Facing the Environmental Crisis Through Science.

The Worthy Garden Club is excited to sponsor a statewide lecture series with Dr. Bill Ripple, distinguished professor in the College of Forestry at Oregon State University, founder of the Alliance of World Scientists, and co-author of the “World Scientists’ Warning to Humanity: A Second Notice."
In his lecture series, Dr. Ripple presents his work on how the far-reaching impacts of wolves are affecting the ecosystem in Yellowstone National Park. Ripple discusses how he transitioned from Yellowstone to other national parks in western North America and beyond to demonstrate both the benefits of large mammals and the costs of their demise. He discloses how his conservation research and general concern about the global environment and climate change led to him writing the  “World Scientists’ Warning to Humanity.”  As a health check-up for planet Earth, this letter has reached millions of people and is one of the most widely discussed and endorsed scientific articles of recent times.

After two wildly successful events at Worthy Brewing and Oregon State University, we've added two more dates to the tour:
Tuesday, April 9: Cat Cavern at Willamette University @ 7pm
Monday, April 22: University of Oregon Law School @ 6:30pm
