Listen in as we chat about the seaside trees that walk: mangroves! We’re joined by Stephanie Cadaval , Alyssa Vinson , and Jose Cajiga Lopez who will blow your minds about these funky flora.

BIG TAKEAWAY: Mangroves are living shorelines, and vital for the health and safety of our seashore communities. Let’s channel our inner Lorax and speak for the trees - before trimming mangroves, consult local policies & work with a certified arborist!
