A Forest Grows in Chester County
Recorded on Thursday, March 16, 2023
Presented by Rachael Griffith, Sustainability Director, Chester County Planning Commission
In 2021, the Chester County Commissioners adopted a Climate Action Plan which sets bold targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions by both county government and the greater community. Strategies like reforesting our landscapes are featured prominently in the Plan. Hear an overview of the Climate Action Plan; how trees fit into this plan; new tree cover mapping and analysis; and current efforts to promote woodland stewardship and address urban heat islands. Discover tree planting and other resources available for homeowners maintaining their own backyard forest.
This lecture is a part of our monthly Third Thursday Lecture Series.
