What Do We Owe Our Local Environment?

Join us at Gravitate Coworking downtown for another great evening of conversation on the question "What do we owe our local environment?" Our livelihoods and communities exist and draw from the land, air, and water among which they were built. What is unique about our local natural environment, what endangers it, what can we do to preserve and enhance it for the next generation?

We're joined by Shane McQuillan, City Forester for Des Moines, who has worked in environments as varied as the Australian outback and Chicago, Illinois, and by Tim Diebel, former Des Moines pastor turned organic farmer at Taproot Garden in Norwalk.

As always, fascinating conversation over beer and wine will ensue!
