  Could a tree have rights? It may sound strange, but one Quebec municipality has taken the extraordinary step of recognizing trees as living beings with rights—including the right to life, growth and protection from unnecessary harm.

Conservation biologist Jennifer Gagné of the Nature Conservancy of Canada, a former consulting arborist and urban forester, joins us to explore this fascinating idea—and what it could mean for the future of trees in Prince Edward County.
