Trees for the Triangle presents the fourth annual Triangle Environmental Symposium, where community voices inspire local action!

The Symposium is a 4-part speaker series featuring musical performances, renowned speakers, and community conversations all around local environmental stewardship. The VISION of the Symposium is to cultivate a thriving culture of environmental stewardship in the Triangle by convening diverse voices, sparking community action, and celebrating the interconnectedness of people, planet, and place.

Our primary GOAL with the Triangle Environmental Symposium is that these events will educate and inspire individuals across generations to take meaningful climate and conservation actions through a dynamic series of events spotlighting thought leaders, local changemakers, and community-rooted solutions. We aim to position the Symposium as a prestigious annual gathering hosted by Trees for the Triangle (TftT), elevating our reputation as a trusted community leader. We are proud to partner with the Town of Apex this year.
