[act-ma] Thursday April 21, 2022, 7:00 pm. "Trees as a Public Good" online forum

[Tribal Scribal]

Mature trees sequester substantial amounts of carbon, something that
saplings cannot accomplish for decades. The loss of even a single tree
impacts air quality, heat levels, and storm water drainage. So every loss
of a mature tree contributes to the climate crisis and impacts public
health. Neighborhoods and towns with less wealth and more people of color
have fewer trees and are at greater risk for health and climate
emergencies, making the loss of mature trees also an environmental justice
issue. This *online forum on Thursday, April 21 at 7 pm EDT* will make the
case that trees are a public good and discuss steps that local
organizations and communities can take to protect our tree canopies.
