The EucFACE experiment exposes native woodland to elevated carbon dioxide. We found that:
This event is your chance to hear what EucFACE is doing, what has been found, and most importantly whether the future of our forests under elevated CO2 in our air makes our planet's "lungs" future look safe and sound, or something else...
Run by the Western Sydney University School of Social Science and Psychology and the Hawkesbury Institute for the Environment, we invite you to join us at Parramatta South Campus on Monday 23rd October for a fun and inspiring evening of talks on the different ways that flowers bring colour, food and fragrance to our lives and those of countless insects and animals.
This will include workshops and events in six cities/regions and production of a technical guide document that can help tree selectors make better decisions about tree quality based on data from the field surveys conducted in the first phase of the project.

Research Week is the University's annual celebration of the diversity and the detail of our active research projects.
We are collaborating on two events in Research Week to showcase our research on EucFACE and what has been found so far.
And, in line with ur horticultural interests, we are exploring the role that flowers play in ourlives, providing beauty, fragrance and health benefits to us just as much as the pollinators for which they were designed.
Please join us on October 23 for two great events back-to-back.
