Join LAVA for an opening reception for the “TREES!” exhibit. The LAVA Center is excited to announce a new exhibit celebrating native trees in our City: why they are a treasured resource, and where and how we can grow more of them. The exhibit will feature several projects that show the commitment that the City and its citizens have made to native tree propagation. The projects represent collaboration among several Greenfield entities and private individuals including The City of Greenfield, The Greenfield Tree Committee, Greening Greenfield and Youth Climate Action of Franklin County. Visit “TREES!” to learn of the many ways in which Greenfield is investing in planting native trees and how you can be involved. The “TREES!” exhibit will share maps, infographics, photos, and narrative to tell the story of the importance of native trees in our lives and how our City has stepped up to the challenges of replacing the many non-native trees that are aging out, replenishing areas that once had trees that were lost to development and floods, identifying invasive species, replacing them with natives that support the pollinators our ecosystem depends upon, and addressing issues of climate change by increasing tree canopy throughout the City.…
