They come from many different back grounds and are united (and rooted!) in protecting Seattle's trees and cli mate resilience.\n\n\n\nSandy and Julia Shettler are a mother-daughter tea m with Tree Action Seattle\, which advocates for Seattle's trees at the ne ighborhood level and at City Hall. \n\n\n\nSandy is a medical social work er with a background in public health. She focuses on the physical and me ntal health benefits of living near trees\, and the need to bring these be nefits to deforested and underserved urban communities. Julia is an elect rical engineer by training and works in climate tech. She is deeply inter ested in preserving the natural environment as a common-sense solution to climate change.\n\n\n\nTree Action Seattle is a collective effort that was sparked by the City of Seattle's July 2023 approval of the cutting of a l arge western red cedar. Nicknamed "Luma"\, the Snoqualmie Tribe identifie d the tree as historic and culturally modified. This singular tree illumi nated glaring flaws in Seattle's tree code.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThanks to Mike Madden for arranging this program.\n CATEGORIES:Speakers END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Los_Angeles X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Los_Angeles BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20250309T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0800 TZOFFSETTO:-0700 TZNAME:PDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
