Are trees feasting on the carbon humans are adding to the atmosphere?

Earth Week continues on Cincinnati Edition with an eco-focused gardening show.

We’ll discuss the impact excess carbon is having on forest growth, get expert advice on native plants and pollinator gardens and — of course — take your questions.

Guests:

  • Jon Butcher, vice president and CEO, Madison Tree Care & Landscaping
  • Cory Christopher, Ph.D., director of conservation, Cincinnati Nature Center
  • Kymisha Montgomery, urban agriculture coordinator, Civic Garden Center
