Join WULN and Dr Greg Moore for an evening learning about the importance of trees for climate resilience in our urban areas. Dr Moore is an icon of the plant science world and is known for his captivating presentations backed by science.

As we look towards a shifting climate and increasing temperatures, our urban areas are going to feel the significant impacts of more severe weather events. Trees and greenspaces play a critical role in making our cities more liveable and this will become even more evident in the future with climate change. Trees not only provide services such as storing carbon and air filtration, but they play a crucial role in cooling surface temperatures and positively impact our mental health.

Please arrive for refreshments on arrival at 5:30pm, followed by the presentation at 6pm.

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear about the importance of trees in our area, and what we can do to contribute to change going forward.

This project is proudly supported by BUPA, Landcare Australia, North East CMA and Victorian Government. WULN thanks Wodonga TAFE for their generosity in hosting this event.
