Meet Your Greens: Addressing Climate Change One Yard at a Time with Judy Preston

Sustainable landscaping is a powerful and practical way to support climate action at home and in our communities. By taking inspiration from natural ecosystems, we can adopt landscaping practices that are both beautiful and beneficial. This talk will explore simple, effective steps every property owner and community member can take to create healthier, more resilient environments, right in our own backyards.
