The Racial History of Durham's Trees
July 14th, 5-6
|
Sometimes it can be hard to see structural racism, and sometimes its a matter of looking on google maps! This talk is about the racial history of Durham's trees, staring with housing polices in the 1930s and leading all the way to today. We present history, problems and even solutions. Learn the facts and feel empowered to make a difference! |
Preserving Biodiversity in Durham's Woodcroft Neighborhood
July 20th, 5-6
|
Most people are aware of climate change. Many fewer know about the precipitous decline in plant biodiversity, which also threatens our long-term well-being. This is a problem not only in the Amazon rainforest—it’s happening right here in our own back yards.
Learn about Woodcroft's pioneering committee that is working to increase use of native plants and control invasive plants in the neighborhood’s common lands and yards. In the end, you'll have ideas and resources to transform your home, neighborhood and community. |
