Join us for our monthly EcoReps workshop featuring locals making a difference in sustainability and a free vegetarian lunch!
On March 28th, our focus will be on the incredible work of the non-profit TreesLouisville, with our guest speaker, Volunteer & Programs Director Morgan Grubbs! A healthy urban tree canopy offers a vast array of benefits to our city, from cooling shade and stormwater management to better mental health and community pride. Trees make our city more livable, healthy, and equitable. That's why, when a 2015 Urban Tree Canopy Assessment found that Louisville's tree canopy was rapidly declining, it was clear that it was time for action.
Although various organizations have been involved in addressing particular aspects of Louisville's tree problem, TreesLouisville is singularly focused on preserving and expanding our community's tree canopy. They support and partner with like-minded organizations by combining energies and resources, facilitating projects and identifying new opportunities. All in an effort to reach their goal: tree canopy coverage of 45% over the next decade.
The Sustainability Council’s EcoReps program is designed to move students, faculty & staff beyond talk to action for a more sustainable UofL! We provide basic training & resources, service opportunities, and leadership positions as a point-person & peer-to-peer advocate for sustainability. More info on EcoReps website.
