Join The Resilient Activist and others in the KC area for this delightful community-building event to nourish ourselves while we nourish the Earth!
Join with The Resilient Activist and Bridging the Gap’s Heartland Tree Alliance on Saturday November 16, 2024 from 10:00am to 1:00pm CT. Nourish yourself and your local community by joining the Marlborough neighborhood (1400 E 76th Terrace, Kansas City, MO 64131) and Bridging the Gap to plant trees throughout Kansas City!
Trees slow traffic speeds, filter air and water pollutants, and provide shade to cool the rising temperatures in summer. Over time, trees help slow climate change by removing carbon dioxide from the air, storing carbon in the trees and soil, and releasing oxygen into the atmosphere.
The Heartland Tree Alliance, an initiative by Bridging the Gap, aims to create vibrant green spaces, unite local communities, and promote the care of Kansas City’s urban trees on a broad scale.
“A tree provides shade, a quiet place to sit and dream, and habitat for wildlife. It cleans our air, captures rainwater, reduces stress, and with each new one planted, creates hope for a resilient region. In fact, trees are one of the most cost-effective solutions to climate change.” – Bridging the Gap
For this event, be sure to bring a water bottle, long pants, and sturdy closed-toe shoes. Wearing layers of clothing, a hat, and sunscreen are recommended. Check out this video to learn what to expect from our tree planting workday!
