Description
In 2018, Savannah received a grant to create an urban tree nursery to grow their tree canopy, mitigate the increasing impacts of climate related flooding, do workforce development, and engage the community. We interview Savannah's Director of Sustainability Nick Deffley, University of Georgia Marine Extension's Coastal Resilience Specialist Jill Gambill, and program apprentice and now owner and operator of Corinthian Gardens, Robert Hartwell. We learn how the program has gone and the life changing impacts it has had.ResourcesUrban Tree Nursery Program webpageGreen Infrastructure to Green Jobs presentationSavannah's Office of SustainabilityUGA Marine Extension and Georgia Sea GrantSavannah Tree FoundationCorinthian Gardens (Robert's business)Loop It Up Savannah (kids that decorated the tree pots)
