Join us for an evening with Dr. Michael McKinney, Professor and Director of Environmental Studies at UT Knoxville. Dr. McKinney will explore how urban greening and green infrastructure can help cities thrive — improving air and water quality, moderating heat, supporting biodiversity, and enhancing community well-being.

With over 30 years at UT and a Ph.D. from Yale, Dr. McKinney brings deep expertise in urban ecology, biodiversity, and conservation. Don’t miss this chance to learn how trees are vital to the health and resilience of Knoxville’s urban forest! 🌿
