Our fellow urban tree advocates at California ReLeaf have an incredible free webinar series – check it out on their website. Listen and learn about how we can apply this knowledge to urban forestry in San Diego!
On Thursday September 21st from 2-3pm, tune into their latest webinar “Community Based Social Marketing & Overcoming Barriers in Tree Care .”
Two ReLeaf Network members, Rachel Malarich of the Koreatown Youth and Community Center (KYCC) and Edith de Guzman of TreePeople, have been working on a research study. They used an innovative approach called Community Based Social Marketing to reach out and engage community members in Huntington Park about their perceptions of trees and tree care. Based on the results, they developed an education campaign and a tool
kit to remind people to water their trees.
In addition, Michael Flynn and Ray Stubblefield-Tave from Common Vision will join the conversation to comment on the social justice and communications aspects of this work.
