The Town of Culver has partnered with Indiana University's Environmental Resilience Institute Resilience Cohort- Urban Green Infrastructure project as part of the 2025 McKinney Climate Fellows program.
This program aims to:
- Increase community resilience through expanded canopy cover, reversing decline due to environmental stress and development
- Plant trees where they are needed most, with sites identified through canopy cover analysis and social/environmental factors
- Ensure the success and health of planted trees with a Tree Maintenance Plan and contracted professional follow-up care
Emerson Wells, McKinney Climate Fellow, will be hosting "Office Hours" at the Culver Coffee Company from 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. on the remaining Mondays in June (6/9, 6/16, 6/23, & 6/30). Please stop by to introduce yourself to Emerson, learn more about the project, and share your thoughts about trees and the larger urban canopy in Culver.
