Vulnerability of Urban Forests in Central Texas

Urban forests provide benefits to the people who reside in cities, including energy conservation, aesthetics, recreation opportunities, stormwater control, and property value. Dr. Wendy Gordon will discuss the vulnerability of urban forests to climate change and tell us about adaptation strategies that help maintain and improve the benefits of urban forests to people. Dr. Wendy Gordon is an environmental professional with more than 25 years of experience managing the natural resources of Texas, with an emphasis on science-based water policy and planning, endangered species conservation, and climate change impact analysis.
