Event Overview

Join us for an evening dedicated to protecting Briar East Woods, a vital local green space. We’ll view Jana Abouhashem’s short documentary showcasing the woods’ ecological value and ongoing threats. Then, we’ll turn our insights into action by writing letters to county commissioners and park planners, urging preservation of this treasured habitat.

Why This Matters

  • Biodiversity: Home to migratory birds, native plants, and wildlife

  • Environmental Health: Natural filtration of stormwater and carbon capture
