1 Million More Trees in Tucson by 2030?
January 27, 6 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. Ward 6 Council Office
Are More Trees a Viable Climate Solution in Tucson? And If So, How Can the Community Help the Effort?
Happy 2020! Climate Tucson kicks off the new year talking about trees with Irene Ogata, Urban Landscape manager for the City of Tucson, and Katie Gannon, executive director, Tucson Clean & Beautiful.
What role do trees play today in the city’s mission to create a sustainable urban ecosystem — and can we meet Mayor Regina Romero’s challenge to plant 1 million trees by 2030 as a way to help offset the impacts of climate change?
Join us January 27 to learn more.
As Gannon said of the tree-planting initiative, “It’s going to take all of us to reach this urgent goal.”
Q&A will follow the presentation.
