Join Bexar Branches Alliance for an engaging Eco Bites session exploring the current state of the San Antonio region’s tree canopy and the critical role trees play in water conservation and climate resilience. Learn how expanding our urban forest helps combat the urban heat island effect and reduces drought impacts.
This workshop highlights how a healthy and expanded tree canopy supports water conservation by reducing stormwater runoff, improving soil infiltration, and providing shade that lowers evaporation rates from landscapes. Attendees will also learn how trees can help lower utility bills, reduce overall carbon footprints, and explore ideas for urban wood utilization that support a more sustainable and circular urban forest economy.
