Let’s Talk About Coronavirus & Tacoma: Celebrating Earth Day and Trees! (Week 5, part 1, April 16, 2020)

April 17, 2020

Host Evelyn Lopez talks with Sarah Low, Executive Director of the Tacoma Tree Foundation about trees, appreciating the benefits of trees, and contemplating the beauty of the trees around us. On April 22 the world will celebrate the 50th Earth Day! This year in the Tacoma area we will be celebrating at home and while social isolating, but we can still celebrate and appreciate the abundant nature around us.

Earth Day South Sound is focusing on trees this Earth Day and all year: “The South Sound is coming together the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day 2020 to celebrate, plant, and care for trees. Starting April 1st, we will embark on a virtual campaign to invite community members to participate in acknowledging and protecting the environment.” You can find out more about Earth Day and the tree celebration at their website: www.earthdaysouthsound.org

So, get ready to plant a tree, or study a tree, spend some time with a tree, and even hug a tree. It will make you feel great!
