DURHAM'S AILING STREET TREES--An Urban "Nature Hike"

When:

Sunday, Aug 31, 2008
2:00 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.

Details:

Many of Durham's urban neighborhoods are shaded by large street trees planted more than 70 years ago. Now many are dying of old age and pollution stress. Other trees have been massively pruned for power lines or even removed. How can we replace our urban trees to beautify our neighborhoods, to save energy and to sequester greenhouse gases?

This is easy, urban nature hike of 2 miles is sponsored by the Headwaters Chapter of the Sierra Club. For information contact Bob Healy (healy@duke.edu)

Directions:

Meet at corner of Markham and Sedgefield St., north edge of Duke's East Campus.
