Aware of inequity in our country, we’re apt to think of differences in generational wealth, educational opportunity, quality health care, and housing. However, something else that is not equitably distributed is Green Space: the tree canopy and vegetative cover in our cities.
Rachel Jones of CCE wil discuss the Elmira Urban Green Equity project, explaining its purpose and scope, the neighborhoods and community stakeholders involved, the environmental services provided, and the benefits to infrastructure, safety, recreation, wildlife, and overal wel-being. We’l also see how The Park Church and friends might participate in Green Equity.
