This event is a great way to get involved right away in the fight against climate change and for a vibrant environment and resilient community. For more information, please view this video. We hope to see you there!
Climate change increases the risk in Piedmont of drought, wildfires, and severe rainfall which may cause flooding. Implementing the right landscaping practices in your home and garden can lessen the effects of these natural disaster events. These practices will also help the environment in other ways, conserving water, increasing biodiversity, and reducing atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations.
