On October 1st, come find our booth at Lynchburg’s Get Downtown Festival and learn more about Lynchburg Rising.

At our booth, we will have resources on flooding impacts and preparation; extreme heat impacts; climate equity and environmental justice; plus coloring pages for kids and free Lynchburg Rising stickers! We hope to see you there!
