Resilience in a Time of Climate Change–Upholding the Urban Growth Boundary; (IN-PERSON)
Climate resilience is about successfully coping with and managing the impacts of climate change while preventing those impacts from growing worse. What that means in our community is protecting our natural and agricultural landscapes with smart urban development creating healthier, diverse, and affordable communities. This sustainable growth can be managed by upholding our Urban Growth Boundary. Learn more at the Sammamish Valley Grange program, “Resilience in a Time of Climate Change,” Wednesday, October 5th, 7 p.m. in-person at the Grange Hall in Woodinville, WA. Program is free, doors open at 6:30 p.m.
Presented by Serena Glover, Executive Director, Friends of Sammamish Valley, the program will cover current issues and challenges including projections and planning related to growth; and, how decisions made by the City of Woodinville, King County and Washington State have impacts affecting our neighborhoods, watersheds and farmland.
