SUMMARY:Botany Brown Bag with Dr. Andy Kleinhesselink
DESCRIPTION:Join for another installment of Botany Brown Bag. Dr. Andy Kleinhesselink will give a talk titled “A Scrap of Nature: Rediscovering UCLA’s Native Plants on Sage Hill.” \nOne-hundred years ago\, UCLA began constructing the Westwood campus on 419 of acres of open pasture\, riparian\, and coastal scrub habitat. Within 40 years\, nearly all of that open space and most of the native species were gone\, replaced by lawns\, buildings\, and parking lots. Nevertheless\, a few small patches of natural habitat and about 50 native plant species survived. But which native species were lost? And which species should we attempt to bring back? Dr. Andy Kleinhesselink\, the Managing Director of Sage Hill\, will describe how he uses herbaria collections\, historical photos and other data to piece together a more complete picture of campus’ past biodiversity. He will discuss how this history guides our plans for restoring Sage Hill\, and how we can use the story of biodiversity on campus to bring lessons about conservation and restoration to life for UCLA undergraduates. \nMake sure to bring your lunch! \nThis event is free and open to the public\, no RSVP required!

SUMMARY:UCLA Climate Action Plan Town Hall
DESCRIPTION:UCLA has completed a Decarbonization Study\, funded by the State of California\, to develop and analyze strategies for a 90 percent or greater reduction in scope 1 emissions from fossil gas use in campus energy systems. Based on the results of this study\, UCLA is now engaged in developing an updated Climate Action Plan (CAP) which integrates the recommendations of the study. \nThe draft Climate Action Plan was submitted to UCOP in December 2025 and can be viewed at this link – Draft UCLA Climate Action Plan. Feedback on the plan is welcome by Friday March 27 through this form: https://forms.gle/JcCYqQrApea9sa4v7. UCLA Sustainability is also hosting Town Halls for students and staff where you can learn more about the draft updated Climate Action Plan\, including on Thursday\, February 26th. \nREGISTER HERE \nFor an overview presentation about the plan\, please see this recording of the briefing given the UCLA Executive Sustainability Committee in November\, 2025. \nAdditional Climate Action Plan Town Hall sessions \n\nMonday February 23\, 6pm –Link to Presentation Recording (use passcode: T+R*9j@$)\nThursday February 25\, 6pm – https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/oej5i8inR0C2N-A2WCgZCw\n\nIf you have any questions about the Decarbonization study or climate planning please contact: sustainability@ucla.edu.
