VPA has teamed up with SRP to distribute free shade trees to their customers in Maricopa County. On this day, participants will attend a tree-care workshop and then take home 2 free desert-adapted shade trees to plant around their homes.
We need volunteers to help make this happen!
Shade trees...
- are an integral part to the urban ecosystem.
- help cool the environment, making them an effective way to reduce urban heat islands.
- when strategically planted, help decrease the demand for air conditioning, thus reduce energy usage.
