Details

Join bestselling author Nickolas Butler for an engaging conversation with the City of Eau Claire’s Forester, Matt Staudenmaier, about one of our community’s most precious assets: our trees. 30,000+ trees strong, Eau Claire’s urban forest didn’t happen on its own. Learn more as Matt discusses how to deal with large scale threats like the nefarious emerald ash borer, how he manages species diversity to protect the whole forest, how you can care for new trees while maintaining their elders, and so much more. With deep roots in the lumber industry, our city was founded on trees. How can this community ensure our noble neighbors thrive for generations to come?
