💨 Abstract

Recent heavy weather in the D.C. region has drawn attention to climate change. Mike Tidwell, director of the Chesapeake Climate Action Network, highlights the significant impact of climate stress and invasive species on local trees, particularly in Takoma Park. The community, recognized for its arbor, has seen thousands of old trees die. Strategies like planting resilient oak varieties are being employed to maintain a healthy tree canopy.
