While our urban forests are threatened by both climate change and rapid urbanization, they're also part of the solution. Trees — the backbone of nature in our urban areas — sequester carbon and provide many other environmental and public health benefits. We need to protect and plant more trees in our cities, but which trees, and where, and how?  This webinar offers guidance from Bay Area experts on ways to ensure resilient urban forests, providing useful tools to decision-makers, from elected officials to city planners, arborists, tree growers, and landscape architects.

Webinar featuring:

• Dr. Erica Spotswood, Director of Science and Senior Ecologist, Second Nature
• Dave Muffly, Former Senior Arborist, Apple
• Dr. Dave Fujino, Director, California Center for Urban Horticulture

Help care for trees in Mountain View! All ages and experience levels welcome, and tools and gloves are provided. 

Exact location shared upon registration. Contact [email protected] for more details and to get involved.

This hybrid lecture and musical performance will explore not only the benefits and costs of trees, but also the feelings they evoke, and the interplay between science and culture. The songs have been curated from around the globe and across several centuries, including selections by two Bay Area composers.

No registation required. This concert will be held in Pioneer Park behind the Library. Please bring your own blankets and chairs.
