Скачать или смотреть Can Austin’s Trees Keep Up With Our Pollution?

Austin claims to be an environmentally-friendly city — and based on our local tree canopy, that’s mostly warranted. But zooming in, it’s clear that trees are more dense on the west side than in East Austin. Tree-huggers are paying attention, though, and regularly work to make things better — including by holding the annual Tree of the Year awards (https://www.austintreeoftheyearawards...) (nominations are still open, by the way). Host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by TreeFolks’ Executive Director Andrew W. Smiley to talk about Austin’s latest Tree Canopy Report (https://state-of-our-environment-aust...) , how our canopy compares (https://www.washingtonpost.com/climat...) to those in other cities across the country, and why it matters.
