Únase a Southside ReLeaf para nuestro próximo Foro Cool the City, en español. Durante este evento colaborativo y enfocado en la comunidad, jugaremos un juego en el que trabajaremos con otras personas para identificar cómo priorizar colectivamente el gasto del gobierno. El enfoque será crear una ciudad mejor preparada para manejar los impactos del calor extremo, las inundaciones y otros eventos climáticos.

Este es un evento gratuito y se ofrecerá cena. ¡Será una tarde divertida de conexión comunitaria y conversaciones significativas!

Este foro es parte de Cool the City, una campaña colaborativa para crear futuros más verdes y saludables en los vecindarios de Richmond que más lo necesitan. Estamos plantando árboles, desarrollando la fuerza laboral del futuro y aumentando la capacidad de la Ciudad de Richmond y sus organizaciones sin fines de lucro asociadas para generar cambios duraderos. Completa su registro a continuación y no dude en invitar a sus amigos y vecinos a acompañarnos en esta actividad cívica enfocada en el clima.

12 de Mayo de 2026 | 5:00 p. m. – 7:00 p. m. (2 horas)

Last fall, we planted 30 new trees at Boushall Middle School with the help of our volunteers. Now that it's spring, we are asking for community support to tend to these young trees. We will weed, reset cages, and learn to use arbor ties to help these trees grow straight and tall! No prior experience is required.
