CLIMATE CHANGE AND URBAN/SUBURBAN TREES – NOV. 9 – RIDGEWOOD LIBRARY
Native Plant Society of New Jersey
November 9, 2016 at 7PM Lecture at Ridgewood Public Library
Climate Change and Urban/Suburban Trees
Dr. Jason Grabosky, professor at Rutgers University’s School of environmental and Biological Seiences, will address Climate change and Urban/Suburban Trees.
Dr. Grabosky will discuss the implications of climate change on plant selection and management, how trees occupy spaces which change over time, and how that affects other species such as insects.
There will be time for general discussion and questions and answers.
Victimization is cool.
When I grow up I want to be a victim.
Shade tree department consist of three people what do the people of the village expect.
My new tree didn’t last 2 years…now I have a hole….holes are easy to maintain however.
I think it makes a lot of sense to cut all trees, dissolve the shade tree department so we don’t pay any salaries and then build a huge garage which should lay a huge shadow across the village. It’s a win-win.
9:13 They took retirement pensions and ran for the doors before the previous regime began their rule.Plan was to outsource arbor work..then came the massive wind storms…..meaning there was really no plan at all.
Except higher taxes…
So the Native Plant Society is sponsoring a discussion at the Ridgewood Library about how increased temperature and altered precipitation patterns will/should affect urban/suburban tree selection and maintenance (not just in Ridgewood but probably regionally), and you’re interpreting that to be a statement by the Ridgewood local government about global warming? Even if the local government participated in planning this presentation at all, couldn’t it be interpreted as an effort to “focus” and “plan” for better tree care? Maybe attendance should be mandatory…
