@wmata Thanks for the quick reply! I look forward to more comfortable rides in the near future!

[Tyrah Cobb-Davis (she/her) @tcobbdavis]

today was such a muggy day and I can only imagine how other riders felt, when are they going to turn the chillers on?

the temperatures are not ideal for passengers OR workers

All we could think about is how the #MetaGala looks resembled trees...

[Forests Plus @ForestsPlus]

Happy #EarthMonth! Thank you to our #TrillionTrees community for your continuous work toward conserving, restoring and growing 1 trillion trees by 2030! Your work will create a healthier future for people, our planet, and biodiversity!

Wangari Maathai was the first female professor in Kenya and the first African woman to be awarded the #NobelPeacePrize.

Born on this day, she was a committed environmentalist and founded the Green Belt Movement, which led to the planting of millions of trees.

[Arbor Day Foundation @arborday]

It all started with a single Yes more than 100 years ago—a Yes to celebrating the trees we have and a commitment to plant more for our planet. That one Yes grew into #ArborDay and opened the door to millions of more yeses and trees planted across the globe 🌱 💪

This is climate chaos! No one seems to care but all our cities will be flooded and under water! No
More snow days … we have torrential rain and flooding days #ClimateActionNow

What do you do when you’re overwhelmed and have a lot on your plate?

My lastest technique has been avoidance…but I know I must do better to be better 😭 I’ve been in a funk and I think I am finally out of it

Doesn’t make up for unproductive days but it’s only up from here 👍🏽

[Wanjira Mathai @MathaiWanjira]

The devastating floods here at home in #Kenya have left more than 150,000 displaced. Shocking AND also why @COP28_UAE must DELIVER on adaptation.

Doubling Adaptation Finance, A global goal and Full operationalization of the Loss & Damage fund.

I’ll be at COP28 advocating for all these outcomes and more. #GlobalStocktake, #ClimateJustice #ClimateAction.

Surprise -- guess who is running for the Sierra Club? Are you a member of the Sierra Club and reside in PG County? If so, please consider voting for me to join the ExCom team.

Attended a workshop at the World Forum For Urban Forests and our group came up with the following poem to highlight the urban forests in Washington, D.C.

[Tyrah Cobb-Davis (she/her) @tcobbdavis]

so in conclusion...plant trees!

[Arbor Day Foundation @arborday]

Polluted air? Plant trees.
Rising temperatures? Plant trees.
Damaged soil? Plant trees.
Unfiltered water? Plant trees.
Food instability? Plant trees.
Endangered animals? Plant trees.
Lack of jobs? Plant trees.

A big thank you to my parents for making this happen, and to Randolph College for all of the great opportunities I had the opportunity to take advantage of over the years!

[Tyrah Cobb-Davis (she/her) @tcobbdavis]

Yesterday I had the privilege of being one of three alum invited to campus to be inducted into Theta Xi — Randolph College’s chapter of the Alpha Alpha Alpha National Honor Society for First-Generation College Students.

[Tyrah Cobb-Davis (she/her) @tcobbdavis]

It was so great to see so many students, faculty, and staff members recognized for their achievements! We are "trailblazers, the pioneers of our families", as mentioned by a faculty inductee.

We are most definitely an inspiration to others!

Crazy to think that I decided to do @AmeriCorps during the pandemic on a whim -- I wanted to try something different and move to a new place. That experience led me to where I am now -- in the urban forestry sector!

[Tyrah Cobb-Davis (she/her) @tcobbdavis]

I am still feeling inspired by all of the amazing people I had the opportunity to meet at the World Forum for Urban Forests (#WFUF23). All of the talks I attended were simply amazing.

[Tyrah Cobb-Davis (she/her) @tcobbdavis]

A highlight of the conference was that I got to connect with a mentor and a peer from AmeriCorps. It was great to sit in sessions where @root_nashville was mentioned as a good, successful model on how to engage communities in urban forestry efforts.
