The Community Environmental Council (CEC) believes that the re-envisioning of downtown Santa Barbara provides an unprecedented opportunity to establish far-reaching environmental measures to guide future development. Join CEC, the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden, the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, Strong Town Santa Barbara, and other community organizations to learn about the ecological framework CEC has prepared for the community’s consideration as it works to address one of its most significant challenges, the revitalization of the city’s downtown core.

At this Community Forum, hear from community leaders, ask questions, and contribute to the conversation around how we can work together to build resilience to climate change while fostering a vibrant city that provides for the economic livelihood, health, personal fulfillment, and happiness of its residents.

Location: CEC Environmental Hub, 1219 State St., Santa Barbara
