NATURE UNDERFOOT: Learning to Live with Tiny Life

CAMBRIDGE FORUM will not be taking place in its usual location at First Parish Church in Cambridge nor will it be recorded in its normal format with a live audience. Due to COVID19 we will NOT be able to host Cambridge Forum as originally planned.

HOWEVER, we will be bringing you a ZOOM live presentation and recording of the event, which I hope many of you can enjoy and tune into. You should be able to type in your questions via the chat box while we are recording the program. We will be uploading the program as usual onto WGBH Forum Network via YouTube, after editing.

Below find the details for you to join the program.

Thanks for supporting us. We are delighted to have this new technology which enables CF to bring this important topic for discussion to your own computer.

Director, CF

John Hainze, entomologist, ethicist and former pesticide-developer call for humans to exercise greater respect and consideration for the other tiny organisms that share our world. In his latest book, "NATURE UNDERFOOT: Learning to Live with Tiny Life" Hainze argues that at a time when insect populations are in dramatic decline, it is more crucial than ever that we protect these creepy crawlies and "unwanted" plants.

He will be joined in conversation with James Barilla, author of 'MY BACKYARD JUNGLE: The Adventures of an Urban Wildlife Lover who turned his Yard into Habitat and Learned to live with It" which considers the habitat of a typical urban back yard as a microcosm of burgeoning cities like Delhi and Rio de Janeiro. He teaches creative non-fiction and environmental literature in the MFA program at the University of South Carolina.
