What do trees, climate change, and your daily life in Lincoln all have in common?

In this episode of The Lincoln Local, we’re joined by Adam Kelly (Town of Lincoln) and Dr. Alicia Powell (Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority) to break down how local action is shaping a greener, more resilient future.

From tree canopy protection and climate planning to community programs and volunteer opportunities, we explore what’s happening behind the scenes—and how you can be part of it.

🌿 What We Talk About

• What climate change actually means (locally)
• Why tree canopy matters more than you think
