Groundswell NW is hosting a discussion this evening about trees in Seattle. Brennon Staley, the Sustainable Community Planner for the Department of Planning and Development and Sandra Pinto de Bader, the Urban Forest Program Manager for the Office of Sustainability and Environment be the guest speakers. “They will discuss proposals to revise existing regulations governing the preservation and planting of trees on private property, both during development and outside of it, in order meet the goals of the Urban Forest Management Plan and other city-wide goals. This presentation will also discuss the city’s overall strategy to expand our canopy cover and increase the health of our urban forest,” the flyer for the event states.
The event will be held this evening at 7 o’clock at the Ballard Community Center (6020 28th NW.)
