Addressing climate change and carbon emissions is a crucial task. Moreover, unlike many other issues, it is one that local governments have substantial power to address. However, while comprehensive planning documents now often mention carbon emissions, it is rarely considered directly in decisions. Join us to hear from Jason Hardin, senior planner with the City of Raleigh, who will talk about how Raleigh has begun explicitly considering carbon emissions in all planning decisions.

Livestaking is the process of planting live cuttings of dormant trees in the riparian buffer zone along the stream bank which helps filter stormwater runoff, protect vital aquatic habitat, and prevent soil erosion and sediment pollution. As these planted stakes grow into trees, they stabilize the sides of the rivers and creeks where we plant them and reduce the overall amount of sediment and toxins getting into the river. Come plant with us at one of our livestaking work days from December through March!
