Lecture Series: Cedars of Lebanon By Dr. Abdul-Baki

The Triangle American-Lebanese Center is starting a lecture series, the last Friday of every month, to focus on various cultural and historical aspects of Lebanon. We are privileged to have Dr. Aref Abdul-Baki as our first guest lecturer. Dr. Aref has had a distinguished career as an agricultural scientist serving with the US Department of Agriculture for several decades and as Adviser to the Lebanese National Research Council and to a number of other governments. Dr. Aref will discuss the history, biology, and challenges facing the Cedars of Lebanon and the efforts, which he led, to protect and rehabilitate the Cedar groves at Barouk. You and your friends are invited to come and enjoy this talk. This lecture is open to adults only, as no babysitting will be provided. We look forward to seeing you.
