Description: Peter Durland is CEJS's 2022-2023 Gary L. Chamberlain student research fellow. On May 25, he will be presenting his project and research results. Peter has been examining current tree retention laws in Seattle and advocating for policy change that balances the need for affordable housing with the benefits tree coverage provides to the city. With rising housing costs, provisions meant for private homeowners are being utilized by companies to increase the allowable building footprint and profits. This footprint increase has had a detrimental impact on the canopy coverage in the city, leading to the loss of many benefits provided by an urban forest. Peter is analyzing these issues in search of a solution that can help to mitigate these complex issues. Bring you own lunch; refreshments and cookies provided. You can learn more here.
