Learn how to persuade decision makers to support tree planting and preservation.
Geoffrey Donovan, USFS researcher, will quickly cover dozens of recent studies, translating them into layman's terms and pointing out the highlights and limitations of each.
Courtney Dillard, professor in the University of Oregon Strategic Communication Program, will teach you how to use the information from these studies to persuade community groups, homeowners, and elected officials to take action on urban forestry issues.
OUT for Sustainability is bringing the first "green" presence to gay pride in Seattle. We want your help to show how we are all connected in sustainable community. This includes you, whether you represent a local sustainable community (Green Lake, Capitol Hill, etc), an environmental organization or are generally interested in supporting OUT for Sustainability at one of the largest festivals in the city.
