Shade Tree Event Volunteers & Trees

Valley Permaculture Alliance will be facilitating the SRP Shade Tree Program in Tempe on the morning of Saturday, September 20th, 2014. Details at: srpnet.com/shadetrees

At this event, we will be giving away more than 3,000 desert-adapted native shade trees! Over the course of the summer months, SRP participants have attended tree care workshops and have each selected 2 shade trees. On this day, they will arrive to pick-up their trees between 8:00am-12:00pm. They will also have the opportunity to talk with tree experts to help provide additional advice on tree care!

It's an exciting day for everyone (I mean, who doesn't smile when they're picking up free shade trees?), and we need lots of help to ensure the day runs smoothly.

The PERA Club Pavilion is enclosed and a i r- c o n di t i o n e d! We will have lots of bagels, cream cheese, snacks, water, and it should be super fun.
