UofL’s Christina Lee Brown Envirome Institute invites you to join the Trager Microforest Opening Celebration!
Mayor Craig Greenberg will offer remarks at 11:30 am.
The celebration will feature: Ramiro's Cantina Food Truck, music, tree giveaways to the first 50 guests, "Ask a Scientist" tables, and fun activities for kids.
As part of the Envirome Institute’s New Vision of Health Campus the Trager MicroForest Project is intensely planting Founders Square located in the heart of downtown Louisville.
This location offers a unique opportunity to reimagine urban greening and measure its impact on human health and the environment, moving us towards a model for cities that focus on fostering health and happiness.
Current research on the site includes study of the micro-climate as it relates to urban heat islands, urban greening and stress reduction, biodiversity and the microbiome of the square, soil health and more.
This project will create an engaging green space that serves residents, attracts visitors and adds to the vitality of downtown.
This event will take place rain or shine.
