Trees for the Triangle is proud to collaborate with the Town of Cary to host the third annual Cary Environmental Symposium. From September 3 to September 25, we invite you to join us for an exciting lineup of presentations, performances, and discussions. Each event is designed to inspire thoughtful and principled civic debate on the challenges facing our air, land, water, and the effects those challenges have on life here in Cary and on Earth. Proceeds from ticket sales go directly to local tree plantings to increase our urban forest canopy.
