VPA has teamed up with APS to distribute free shade trees to their customers in Maricopa County. Customers have registered in advance and have taken an online worshop on tree care. On this day, they come to take home 2-3 free desert-adapted shade trees!
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.
- sequester carbon and produce oxygen
- provide wildlife habitat
- help raise the water table
- provide trees for climbing!
