“Cool the City Tree Knowledge Workshops

The Cool the City Campaign is a city wide effort to combat Urban Heat Island Effect through the historically disadvantaged communities in Richmond. We are contracting at least 5 people from each faith congregation we work with to be Climate Connectors who will go through 4 workshops and a planting project. This is a stipend agreement where the Climate Connector will receive $500 on completion of the final project. All climate connectors will be responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the projects we do with the help of our resources at VAIPL.

Saturday, April 4th & 11th 09:00 am – 11:00 pm
