Environmental Webinar – Time to Show Your Love for Trees!
March 4 @ 7:00 PM
Trees stand ready and tall in our fight against the climate crisis. And yet they are threatened by constant human expansion. Plan on joining a scheduled webinar on March 4 at 7 pm to hear the fascinating and eminent Dr. William Moomaw speak on how trees are critical to biodiversity and carbon sequestration. Dr. Moomaw’s talk will particularly focus on the importance of trees as they relate to the implications for the proposed private jet expansion at Hanscom Airforce Base where 20 acres of trees are threatened. More details to come, including the meeting link. Save the date and time on your calendar now!
