Join Mid-Atlantic CCLers for a Zoom book discussion with author Mike Tidwell, director of the Chesapeake Climate Action Network. In his new book, The Lost Trees of Willow Avenue, Mike tells the story of the declining trees on his urban block in Takoma Park, Maryland, along with many other tales of climate change. Along with declining trees, widespread flooding, Lyme disease, and young people choosing to remain childless, Mike also sees signs of hope: the spread of solar power, new plantings of trees, and the first gas station in America to switch to charing EVs. Mike will talk and show photos of his neighborhood and take questions from the audience. Zoom link coming soon!
