Urban Forest Climate Series with Ed Dominguez | Saving Trees and Protecting Urban Forests
As seasons grow hotter and climate impacts become more visible, understanding the role of urban tree canopy is more important than ever. Here in South Seattle, the reduced access to shade stands in contrast to other areas of the city, leaving local residents especially vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.
Ed Dominguez is a passionate Seattle-based naturalist, renowned bird expert, local educator, trusted voice in conservation, and former member of our Audubon staff. His research on trees and his understanding of the effects of climate change highlight the importance of urban tree canopy. Ed also understands the issues and politics that have brought us to our current situation and shows us how we can all play a part in creating cooler, healthier, and more resilient communities.
Seward Park Audubon Center is excited to team up with our beloved partner in conservation for a three-part series of presentations designed to educate, inform, and rally our friends and neighbors to take action on this critical issue of trees and climate. Each of these free public events will take place at the Rainer Art Center in Columbia City, or you can participate live on the Seward Park Audubon YouTube channel.
