If a tree falls in the forest, these people hear it. TreePeople founder Andy Lipkis, Jagmohan Maini (credited with coining the term UEcotourismU) and L.A:s own Hope Tschopik Schneider explore conservation around the world. We then climb down from the canopy to the roots with On Ensemble's boundary-pushing reinvention of taiko drumming. Next, experience the unstoppable dance party of Dr. Riddims & click. BOOM, followed by multi­talented musical explorer Eleanor Academia and her all-star rock band, Eap.

Linda Vallejo will exhibit a series of paintings dedicated to the beauty of nature, and present “A Prayer for the Earth” mixed-media installation concluding with a Blessing Ceremony organized with Native American tribal leaders.
