SUMMARY:Summer Solstice Neighborhood Tree Walk
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the first day of summer with trees and water! Starting at UW Tacoma in the heart of downtown\, we will walk along the busy streets to the iconic Thea Foss Waterway. We will learn how trees are managed in a downtown landscape and observe how they interact with the downhill stormwater runoff. Once on the ground\, what path does runoff take to reach the Puget Sound? What kinds of pollution does it interact with before it gets there? What role do trees play in the water cycle? \nDress appropriately for PNW summer weather. Prepare to walk approximately 2 miles on pavement\, up and down stairs and steep streets. \nAbout Your Guides:  \nSarah Low \nSarah C. Low\, Founder of Tacoma Tree Foundation\, combines a love of trees and nature with her professional background in urban and community forestry. Sarah has been studying trees since she noticed ants on a favorite flowering dogwood when she was 10. Her curiosity for trees and nature led her to pursue a career focused on urban ecosystem health and sustainability. All along the way\, Sarah found relief\, healing\, connection\, and joy outdoors. Sarah provides educational talks\, leads mindfulness walks\, and helps to connect people to nature and to each other. \nBarry Goldstein \nBorn and raised in New York City\, Barry graduated from Queens College (CUNY) with degrees in Geology and Biology\, and then received his MSc and PhD in Geology from the University of Minnesota. He worked primarily on the relationship between landscape features and climate change\, including the effects of climate on river systems. This has mostly been in regions affected by past glaciations (like Puget Sound)\, but has also included work in the American southwest as well as archaeological sites in Israel. He served on the Board\, and as Board Chair\, of the Center for Environmental Law and Policy from 2001-2008\, which uses legal means to protect in-stream flows in Washington State. Barry retired (June 2021) from the Geology Department at the University of Puget Sound\, after joining the faculty there in 1984. He currently serves on the Board at Communities for a Healthy Bay as well as their Policy and Technical Advisory Committee. \nMeeting Location: W at Jefferson Avenue and S 19TH ST\, UW-T campus \nThis program is thanks to Tacoma Creates.
