Fortunately\, these problems have simple solutions if we can gather the political moment um to protect our trees and all they do to buffer us from the impacts of c limate change.\n\n\n\nPresentation by Dan Miller. https://www.lextrees.org \n\nQuestions and discussion will follow the presentation.\n\n \; END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:13@lexcan.org DTSTART:20230511T183000Z DTEND:20230511T203000Z DTSTAMP:20250909T204905Z URL:https://lexcan.org/events/earth-day-in-may-take-one-step-now/ SUMMARY:Earth Day in May: Take One Step Now DESCRIPTION:IN PERSON EVENT: NO REGISTRATION NEEDED\n\nJoin us for an “E arth Day in May” learning session focused on taking action!
