Spend an evening with acclaimed author Robert Moor, known for his New York Times bestselling book On Trails, as he discusses his new book In Trees: An Exploration with the Arboretum’s herbarium director, Dr. Andrew Hipp.In this lively conversation, Moor and Hipp will explore the wilds of nature and history, and dig into the ideas at the heart of Moor’s new book around how trees can teach us to grow wise. From scaling giant sequoias in California to studying bonsai in Japan and sleeping in a chimpanzee nest in Tanzania, hear about Moor’s adventures and how the miracle of trees might hold the power to break open some of humanity’s oldest questions: What is the secret to truly growing old? How do we set down deeper roots in an increasingly chaotic world? Most importantly, how should we live—as individuals, as communities, and as stewards of the earth?
