Our lands&mdash;our forests, open spaces, agricultural lands, and even our urban landscapes&mdash;offer abundant opportunities for storing carbon from the atmosphere, reducing carbon emissions, and helping communities adapt to increasing effects brought on by climate change.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enter the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coolboulder.org\/\">Cool Boulder Campaign<\/a> initiative. The City of Boulder is working with many community partners, including Eco-Cycle, as well as Boulder residents, to empower community-led, nature-based climate action. The campaign supports and mobilizes residents within the city of Boulder to regenerate our soils, trees, and habitats for a resilient community, climate, and future. The campaign will focus particularly on creating absorbent landscapes and expanding vegetation and tree cover in ways that reduce temperatures and promote critical pollinator habitat.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The dramatic climatic extremes of the last year, when relatively temperate places like the Pacific Northwest reached 120&deg;F and beyond, as well as our experiences with <a href=\"https:\/\/boulderreportinglab.org\/2022\/01\/03\/marshall-fire-the-face-of-climate-change-manipulating-from-the-margins\/?gclid=CjwKCAjwm8WZBhBUEiwA178UnHSqHyNYgkcpgj34mXXbZfiP-a_OcGEzC_Tv5BfW-f0aseXajd8UOBoCL9sQAvD_BwE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the devastating Marshall Fire at the end of 2021<\/a>, brought home the impacts of rapidly advancing climate change.&nbsp; Communities must begin preparing for climatic extremes never before experienced.&nbsp; A host of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/07\/02\/climate\/trees-cities-heat-waves.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">scientific reports<\/a><\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">have underscored that the shading and evaporative cooling provided by trees and other plants will be an increasingly critical part of keeping communities safe and livable. Alongside the climate crisis, we are facing unprecedented loss of biodiversity, particularly the loss of crucial native pollinators.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Planting and protecting trees and creating more diverse habitats for local species in cities can help address the impacts of both climate change and loss of biodiversity. Much of this work will need to take place on private land, like backyards and business parks, and will need to be led by community members. City departments can provide support and training, but the scale of the changes needed will not be possible without the commitment of thousands of engaged residents.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What is Cool Boulder?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The three initial focus areas for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coolboulder.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cool Boulder Campaign<\/a> are: (1) Connected Canopies, expanding urban forests; (2) Pollinator Pathways, creating connected &ldquo;cool corridors&rdquo; that provide habitat for pollinators and other species; and (3) Absorbent Landscapes, enhancing the ways that landscaped areas, natural lands, and working lands absorb carbon, water, and solar energy.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11968 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ecocycle.org\/content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/CB-Icon_Canopies-300x283.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"283\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ecocycle.org\/content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/CB-Icon_Canopies-300x283.png 300w, https:\/\/ecocycle.org\/content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/CB-Icon_Canopies-768x724.png 768w, https:\/\/ecocycle.org\/content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/CB-Icon_Canopies.png 1000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/283;\" \/><strong>Connected Canopies:<\/strong> To help reduce temperatures and expand access to the benefits of urban trees, Boulder needs major investments in maintaining the health of its existing tree canopy and we need to plant thousands of additional trees&mdash;largely on private land.
