SUMMARY:The Allure of the Urban Wild
DESCRIPTION:Cities like Los Angeles are often mistaken for ecological wastelands\, places that have been wiped clean of the true majestic magic of Mother Nature\, and therefore fall on the far side of the spectrum from what is considered to be “natural”. Land use datasets blanket over these built environments with gradients of grey\, depicting urban areas as nothing more than “developed”. As a result\, cities continue to be pegged as the problem causing environmental degradation\, rather than seen as some of the most promising places to “save the planet”. \nJoin Kat Superfisky\, urban ecologist\, educator\, and executive director of Grown in LA on an adventure into the urban wild of Los Angeles\, as she investigates the nature that currently exists within cities\, and shares her perspective on\, and strategies for\, how we can create more “symbiotic cities”. \nUCLA Extension Landscape Architecture thanks our two sponsors\, AWA+D and The Mildred E. Mathias Botanical Gardens for helping make this lecture possible!

SUMMARY:Biomimicry in the Garden: Drawing Inspiration from Plants for Technology & Design
DESCRIPTION:Inspiration from the diversity of the natural world can lead to new ideas for addressing design and technological challenges. Join us for a pair of extraordinary speakers whose work illustrates how understanding the biology of plants can lead to innovation.  \n\nSprouting and Branching: Natural Models of Proliferation and Repair\nStrokes occur when the brain does not receive a sufficient amount of blood. Of all the forms of stroke\, one of the most challenging is due to the accumulation of cholesterol and other fats in the wall of the arteries. This condition is known as intracranial atherosclerosis. Current treatments of this disease remain to have high rates of recurrent stroke and death. The research that Dr. Gonzalez has conducted at UCLA and Cedars-Sinai focuses on finding methods to bring additional blood flow to the brain of patients at risk for stroke.\nDr. Gonzalez’ investigations concentrate on fostering the potential ability of the human arteries to produce new branches\, which have numerous structural and functional parallels with the way branches and roots grow in plants. These similarities have been an inspiration for several of the components of this research\, which have received two National Innovation Awards from the American Heart Association. Dr. Gonzalez will be discussing the remarkable similarities seen in the process of proliferation of arteries in the human brain with what appears as a common evolutionary ancestor process in sprouting and branching in plants.\n\n\nBiological Design: The History and Future of Plant Architecture \nIn this talk\, Dr. Siobhan Braybrook will describe the basic principals governing plant body architecture and explore with you how the plant body plan has been altered for agricultural purpose. We will then explore how the designs we find in plants have been used as template and inspiration for new materials\, solar panels\, and even buildings. Come and find out how the Strelitzia flower pictured here inspired the function and design of a self-moving building!\nDr. Siobhan Braybrook is an Assistant Professor of Molecular\, Cell\, and Developmental Biology at UCLA and a plant biologist. Her research group works on understanding how shapes and patterns are grown in plants\, from the arrangements of leaves around a stem to the elongation of a young seedling reaching out of the soil. She is the daughter of a horticulturist and has always loved plants.\n\nThis is event is free\, but space is limited–Please RSVP.  Come early to explore the Botanical Garden.  Help support free educational programming by making a donation online.

SUMMARY:The Fynbos Vegetation of South Africa: Ecology\, Conservation\, & Restoration
DESCRIPTION:The Fynbos Vegetation of South Africa:  Understanding unique ecological processes to determine best practices for propagation and restoration \n\nThe Fynbos vegetation of the Cape Floristic Region in South Africa contains among the highest plant species richness of anywhere in the world for the size of the region. The variety of ways in which plant species are adapted to survive periodic wildfires\, specialized pollination interactions\, and unique seed dispersal techniques have influenced the extreme diversity of plant species and high rates of narrow-range endemism in the region. However\, the combined impacts of habitat loss\, invasive species intrusion\, and climate change have resulted in many Fynbos plant species and entire vegetation types becoming threatened with extinction today.\n\nJoin botanist Dr. Stuart Hall during his visit to Los Angeles from South Africa to learn more about conservation methods in this important region. He will discuss Fynbos ecology\, threats to the region\, and conservation initiatives-including how institutions such as botanical gardens can be centers of collaboration: combining research\, conservation and horticulture.\n\nThis event is free\, but space is limited–Please RSVP

SUMMARY:Street Plants: Wild Flora of Los Angeles
DESCRIPTION:Cities may seem to be solely the work of humans—right down to the urban landscape of street trees\, ornamental plantings\, and manicured lawns that were put in place by human hands. But wild plants spread through the landscape without any human help\, forming a ubiquitous botanical backdrop that exists at the fringes of most concepts of nature. Join Evan Meyer\, Assistant Director of the UCLA Botanical Garden\, for a discussion of the wild flora of inner-city Los Angeles. This program is co-presented by LENS: Laboratory for Environmental Narrative Strategies.
