Trees at Playspaces
April 15, 2010, 1-2pm EDT
Trees and landscaping are sometimes considered "extras" when it comes
to playspaces and can be the first on the budget chopping block, but
they are integral elements of a healthy play and learning environment
for children. Incorporating trees at playspaces improves the
aesthetics, provides shade to reduce children's exposure to UV rays,
and cleans the air to help prevent asthma and promote healthy lung
function.
Trainers:
Dave Flanigan, Director of Operations, KaBOOM! (Washington, DC)
Kathleen Ownby, Executive Director, SPARK Park (Houston, TX)
Green Jobs- Part III: From Incarceration or Probation to Employment
May 6, 2010, 1-2pm EDT
Green
jobs training programs developed in accordance with the needs of
struggling communities can be part of a solution to community
revitalization. Programs for teaching and employing formerly
incarcerated youth and adults in the growing green economy can help
reduce social and economic imbalances while also cleaning and greening
our cities.
Trainers:
Joan Lionetti, Executive Director, Trees for Tuscon (Tucson, AZ)
Annette Williams, B.E.ST. Director, Sustainable South Bronx (NY)
