Colleagues, especially Southern CA colleagues, greetings from Kansas City. Might you be interested in a proposed land art and social enterprise project to restore the ancient California redwood forest? I am contacting you on behalf of Jarrett Mellenbruch <https://www.jarrettmellenbruch.com/>, artist and lecturer in KCAI’s sculpture department and program head of our social practice program. Jarrett has been selected for a 2020 Creative Capital Award <https://creative-capital.org/> which will provide up to $50,000 in funding for his exciting and ambitious *Redwood Preserve* project. As part of this project, Jarrett is seeking an ‘embedded librarian’ to participate in a multidisciplinary round table discussion to be held on Saturday, March 21, at the Los Angeles gallery Bridge Projects <https://www.bridgeprojects.com/>, 6820 Santa Monica Blvd., 90038. (Time of day still to be determined.) In order to maximize the impact of the dollars awarded, he is asking for pro bono participation. The round table will include experts in climate change, carbon sequestration, redwood forestry, game theory, and blockchain technology. Access a brief description of *Redwood Preserve* <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XcdGN1Opr0jVjRBQEdbT29yEA03oig7k/view?usp=sharing> for more information on the project. Please share this opportunity with your staff and with other librarians in the LA area. For additional information and to volunteer with the round table contact Jarrett Mellenbruch at [log in to unmask] My two cents: this is a great opportunity to work with a wonderful person on a truly exciting project.
