Join us for the 2021 Snider Lecture featuring an evening with Robin Wall Kimmerer as she draws on Indigenous and scientific wisdom to offer lessons on how we can heal our relationships with the natural world.

Ecological restoration can be understood as an act of reciprocity, in return for the gifts of the earth. This thought-provoking discussion and Q&A will explore the ecological and ethical imperatives of healing the damage we have inflicted on our land and waters. Together, we will trace the evolution of restoration philosophy and practice, and consider how the integration of Indigenous knowledge can expand our understanding of restoration from the biophysical to the biocultural. Reciprocal restoration includes not only healing the land, but our relationship to land. In healing the land, we are healing ourselves.
