I'm in the studio with Chelsea Mahan, co-founder of the Canopy Restoration Project. She's a longtime environmental activist and community organizer. In this conversation, we discuss the origins of the project, the benefits of trees, and future plans for expanding the mission.

Dr. Enid Sisskin received her PhD from Columbia University in Pathobiology and did her postdoctoral fellowship at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, one of the institutes that makes up the National Institute of Health. She has worked as an environmental activist in this area for more than 25 years. She is the creator of the EcoMinute and has produced &amp; hosted the series since 2009. Her interests include knitting, quilting, swimming, gardening, despite yearly failures, and she continues to work for environmental protection. She is also everyone's favorite Jewish mother and stage manager at <a href="http://radiolive.org/">RadioLive</a>. Contact: <a href="mailto:enid@wuwf.org.">enid@wuwf.org.</a>
