winter educational series
Plans and updates for the city’s winter environmental learning programs.
What to Watch
Whether the board publishes and maintains a current 2025–26 schedule (and then starts 2026–27 planning on the timeline it discussed).
Coming Up
Typically discussed at Environmental Advisory Board. Check back when the next agenda is published.
The Story
The Environmental Advisory Board is still in planning mode on its winter educational series—collecting topic ideas, talking up hands-on sessions, and trying to get the schedule where residents will actually see it. The most concrete snag raised so far: the city’s EAB webpage was still showing last year’s schedule, which the board said can hurt turnout.
