Culver Partners with IU's Environmental Resilience Institute's Urban Green Infrastructure Project

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:

  1. Increase community resilience through expanded canopy cover, reversing decline due to environmental stress and development
  2. Plant trees where they are needed most, with sites identified through canopy cover analysis and social/environmental factors
  3. 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.
