Trees are essential allies in the fight against climate change. They absorb carbon dioxide, a leading greenhouse gas, helping to reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. They also regulate local climates, cool urban areas and provide habitats for countless species.  

Join us on August 19 for a special Conversations with Olmsted webinar all about the importance of trees in Olmsted places! During the webinar, partners across the country will share their experiences conducting tree surveys, deciding on new plantings and more.  

Speakers include:  

  • Moderator: Vincent Simeone, Arboretum Director, Planting Fields/NY State Parks  
  • Margaret Bracken, Chief of Design and Construction, Riverside Park Conservancy/NYC Parks 
  • James Kaufmann, Executive Director, Architect of the Capitol, U.S. Capitol Grounds and Arboretum 
  • Bill Quade, Director of Horticulture, Biltmore Estate 

This webinar is free to attend, but registration is required. We invite you to consider making a small donation to help us keep our webinar programming accessible to all. By registering, you agree to receive occasional updates from the Olmsted Network.
