David Wilson, Chair of the Green Cities Accord Board, will be the featured speaker at LAI MN’s Annual Meeting, presenting on “Roots of Resilience: Strengthening Communities with Urban Tree Canopies.” His presentation will highlight how urban trees act as living infrastructure, helping cities combat climate change by cooling neighborhoods, reducing energy demands, and managing stormwater. Wilson will discuss the challenges facing urban tree canopies and the Green Cities Accord’s efforts to protect and expand the Twin Cities’ tree canopy, including initiatives like an urban tree carbon offset program.
