Giants Rising: SUFA Film In-Person
In partnership with the Sunnyvale Urban Forest Advocates (SUFA), we invite you to an exclusive screening of the film, Giants Rising: The Secrets and Superpowers of the Redwoods.
A journey into the heart of America’s most iconic forests, Giants Rising reveals the secrets, superpowers and saga of the redwoods—the tallest and some of the oldest living beings on Earth. Living links to the past, redwoods also hold powers that may play a role in our future, including their ability to withstand fire and capture carbon, to offer clues about resilience and even to enhance our own well-being.
Through the voices of biologists, artists, Native communities and others, we discover the scientific wonders of redwoods, our deep cultural ties to them, and efforts to help these iconic forests overcome the legacy of logging that nearly wiped them out. It’s a tale that offers lessons about resilience, and the promise of solutions that will help us all rise up to face challenges that lay ahead.
Following the film there will be a Q&A with David Cowman, Director of Land Stewardship with the Sempervirens Fund.
This screening will take place in the Library Program Room. Registration is required.
