Canopy and the City of Mountain View were thrilled to have 60+ friends join us for an afternoon tree-cital under the canopy in Pioneer Park outside the Mountain View Library. This hybrid lecture and musical performance explored not only the benefits and costs of trees, but also the feelings they evoke, and the interplay between science and culture. The songs were curated from around the globe and across several centuries, including selections by two Bay Area composers. Special thanks to Canopy’s co-organizers at the Mountain View Public Library!
Through story-telling and musical selections, each section of this special program designed by Katherine Nägele-Lin explores a different theme of human’s multi-faceted relationship to trees. As you listen, we invite you to consider: what different feelings to trees evoke for you?
