We often think of the human and the natural as two separate and distinct worlds, and that the "human" always battles with and destroys the "natural." But SSU Cultural Resources graduate student James Peterson will share insights from his historical ecology research, including how our local landscape has been deeply informed by its relationship with human culture. You will never look at a large California bay laurel tree the same again. Watch recorded event here: Deep Dive: Historical Ecology April 28, 2020
