Speaker Series: Ash Trees & Our Communities
Our Forests, Our Climate, Our Communities: Speaker Series
Ash trees have been important for people and communities in this region for over 10,000 years. New challenges threaten all ash trees—in pristine forests, in shrinking wetlands, and along city streets. We turn to Wabanaki experts and leaders to connect us with ash, forests, and the solutions for saving and restoring trees we all need.
