Trees may appear to be strong and silent, but they can “talk”—to one another, to other plants, and to animals and insects. Discover how trees communicate via chemical signals in the air (to warn each other of insect attacks), as well as through complex fungal networks underground to transfer nutrients and resources to one another (sometimes to assist sick trees). This three session New York Botanical Garden class will be held online beginning December 7 from 6 – 8, and is taught by Steve Kutos. $139. Register HERE. Steve Kutos is a Ph.D. student in Biological Sciences – Ecology at Fordham University in the Dr. J.D. Lewis lab. His research focuses on how disturbance and the future effects of climate change might tree-soil microbial communities.
