Trees Matter

We see a need to provide important resources to the general public so they can properly choose trees, plant trees, care for trees, and of course advocate for trees. We hope to encourage a culture of tree advocates and stewards.  

Trees offer many critical functions such as shade, pollution reduction, dust reduction, food, increased property value, carbon sequestration, increase in mental and physical health, and more. The Valley has an immediate need for an increased tree canopy; Trees Matter works to alleviate this need by educating the public on tree knowledge, and distributing desert-adapted shade trees to residents across the Valley.

Through the Resiliency Project we are planting trees as a living memorial for those impacted by the COVID-19. Learn more from our ABC 15 News Story: https://www.abc15.com/weather/impact-earth/organization-looks-to-plant-100-new-trees-in-south-phoenix-to-address-heat-memorialize-covid-losses
