The discussion will explore the life and legacy of Dr. Jane Goodall, including her groundbreaking scientific research with chimpanzees and a special focus on the decade she spent in Ridgefield and Danbury in the early 2000s, when her national headquarters were established locally and many of the Roots & Shoots youth programs were developed.
