John Dennis Liu in his short film “Forest Keep Dryland Working”
The Community Roots Garden organizer is going to give us a tour of the garden at the church starting around 2:30 and we hope Jason and a friend will play some music, so come early!
John D. Liu is touring California to inspire us with his vision for large-scale ecosystem restoration to release the potential of nature and people. He chronicled China’s journey to revitalize the immense Loess Plateau. For the past ten years Liu has worked with colleagues identifying and documenting approaches to restore damaged and destroyed ecosystems around the world.
Liu is a Chinese-American environmental filmmaker and ecological field researcher. His documentaries have aired on CBS, National Geographic, and BBC.His award-winning Hope in a Changing Climate explores the true potential of ecosystem restoration.
He will be on his way from Paradise, CA, future site of the first Ecosystem Restoration Camp in California, and from the site for the first camp in Mexico. He will receive the Eco-Hero Award at the Lobero Theater in Santa Barbara on March 17, 6:30 pm. Buy tickets here – from $12, $24 and $100.
