Throughout Máxima’s fight for justice, the film provides an illustrative case study in the tactics used by transnational corporations to commit human rights violations and environmental crimes, the role played by non-profits and The World Bank, and, ultimately, the resilience of one woman who refuses to back down.

This walk will build off the presentation that Sarah Ford at Forest Carbon Works will give on the previous Monday night, July 19 at 5:30 pm on providing carbon market access for smaller landowners. In addition to being a practicing forester in Vermont and a forester for Forest Carbon Works, Sarah studied under Dr. Bill Keeton at UVM where they did much of their work at Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park. Come learn how landowners can enhance the carbon stored on their land, how they can avoid the depletion of carbon and how they can participate in carbon markets.
