On behalf of Plant Amnesty, TreePAC, and City Fruit, we formally invite you and your organization to participate in the September 2015 Urban Forest & Green Space Candidate Forum focused on specific issues in the Seattle area.
The educational, nonpartisan candidate forum will take place on September 16 between 7 and 9 pm at the University of Washington, Botanic Gardens Center for Urban Horticulture (3501 NE 41st Street, Seattle, WA 98105).
Urban forest and green spaces, as you know, create healthy and livable communities. The goal of the forum is to provide a platform for our organizations, members, and allies to present and discuss key issues with potential City Council members. Additionally, the forum will help the community understand each candidate’s vision for green and open space in Seattle. The forum will elevate these issues and help prioritize their consideration in future City Council work.
The forum will address issues concerning the urban forest and green space in Seattle, and specific issues facing City Council members including: density and development, urban forestry funding and legislation, Parks acquisition, and comprehensive urban forest planning.
The forum will not address broad issues such as climate change, recycling, or housing.
