I am pleased to offer a new public talk about recent work in the Pacific Northwest. Please reach out to dborden4@oregon.edu, if interested in hosting the following presentation. Otherwise, you’ll be able to catch the presentation at OSU on Nov 9th, and at Harvard in April.

Field Reports from the Pacific Northwest WUI. David Buckley Borden’s Field Reports talk focuses on his latest environmental-communication collaborations with the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest and the Fuller Initiative for Productive Landscapes. In this talk Borden shares his research-driven creative process and fluid collaborative approach to environmental communication at the intersection of landscape, creativity, and cultural event. The image-rich performance includes a series of accessible case studies including the PNW Tree ID project, Forest Fashion (Lookout Edition), and the Unfinished Book Bureau. Through these examples, Borden advocates for new models of interdisciplinary environmental education by focusing on solutions to the practical convergence of ecology, art, and design.

Typical length: 1 hour, including 15 minutes for discussion.
