    7:00 AM

    Unidade Experimental Agnes Waddel Chagas, Fazenda Betel, Zona Rural, Cocalzinho, Goiás, 72975000, Brazil

  
  
  Event Description
  The Agnes Wadell Chagas Trail is an outdoor activity set in a rural area of the Cerrado in the Pyrenees region of Goiás, encompassing local farms and the Serra dos Pirineus State Park. The hiking trail stretches for 6 kilometers and is managed by the Cerrado Environmental History Laboratory, involving researchers, students, and the local community. Among the participants, we particularly note elementary school students from the Cocalzinho de Goiás municipal school system, aged 7 to 12 years. Additionally, the Open University for the Elderly People Project, an initiative by the Evangelical University of Goiás designed to integrate elderly individuals into the university campus, also participates. The activity features an ecological trail with designated points highlighting the history and ecology of the Cerrado, one of Brazil's most endangered biomes. Beyond being a physical and recreational venture, the hiking trail acts as a crucial platform for understanding the history and promoting environmental education about the Cerrado.

• Plants for the Apocalypse III

  • When
    April 21, 2025
  •  
    2:30 PM
  • Location
    DC Smith Greenhouse, 465 Babcock Drive, Madison, WI , Madison, WI, 53705, USA

  
  
  Event Description
  Please join the Allen Centennial Garden and the Psychedelic Pasts, Presents & Futures Workshop Group in the DC Smith Greenhouse for our 3rd Annual Plants for the Apocalypse. We will explore the entanglements of plant-human-environment relationships through the lenses of the four horsemen of the apocalypse: death, war, famine, and plague. Plants are our partners in life and in death. They can signal the coming of the apocalypse, heal us and harm us, provide nourishment through extreme experiences, or help us cope with our mental health in challenging ecological times. What can we, as human participants, learn from these relationships through space and time? Drop in to hear from UW-Madison community members about these multi-dimensional perspectives that can affect the health of humans and non-humans alike. What kind of plants would you want around for the end of the world?
  
  Attendance
  All are welcome! This event is free and open to the public.
