Climate change coalition embarks on new initiative

In a collaborative effort with twenty organizations and individuals, the Climate Change Coalition of Door County is beginning the Door County Big Plant. The month-long endeavor indicates that over 14,000 trees will be planted around Door County from April 22nd to May 23rd. The original goal was 5,000 trees to be planted in January, but organizations have put forth their efforts as well. The Nature Conservancy will be responsible for planting 7,000 of those trees. The CCC will oversee the planting of 2,021 trees, and other groups will organize their activities. 

 

The initiative, coupled with having climate scientist Katherine Hayhoe speak on Wednesday, kicks off the CCC’s Season of Giving. This is a series of events and presentations, both virtually and outdoors, that will highlight effects and actions on climate change. The presentations are for specific audiences but will cover a wide variety of topics. The CCC Coordinator, Nicole Matson, attributes this to the diversity in solutions to climate change matters.
