IMAGINE POWER IN PLACE PRESENTATION AND PANEL

“Imagine Power in Place” is a Capital Trees event featuring keynote speaker Mickey Fearn, followed by a panel of local leaders working at the intersection of parks, equity, and community development in Richmond. The program focuses on how public green spaces can advance climate resilience, address disparities in access and investment, and strengthen community well-being, with panelists offering on-the-ground perspectives and examples from their work across the region. This free event is open to everyone, but space is limited and registration is required. Based on past events, we expect it to fill up quickly.
