SESSION OBJECTIVES
Participants are aware of tree equity, importance of greenspaces, and linkages between urban greenspace and climate resilience
Our fourth Resilient Roots session provided fellows with an understanding of tree equity, the importance of greenspaces, and linkages between urban greenspace and climate resilience. Our first guest speaker, Di Holokahi from the Solano Land Trust spoke to her work in increasing outdoor access among the youth and addressing barriers to recreational opportunities.
Next, Solano County Supervisor Wanda Williams discussed the critical role of local government in advocating for equitable access to parks and green spaces, emphasizing how these areas support environmental justice, community health, and climate resilience. To put this knowledge into practice, fellows engaged in an interactive ‘Dream Your Park’ activity to explore the ins and outs of recreation resources and park needs in their own communities.
