@stevestockmar @TreesMatterAZ @AzNewsmedia @SRPconnect This is a good program. We have two beautiful trees in our backyard that started as tiny little sticks given out by SRP.

Happy 2023! We had over 5,000 trees distributed, nearly 200 volunteers and over 200 trees planted! Thank you to all who supported us this year. 💚🌳

Volunteer with us on Fri, 7/28, at Shaw Montessori! Help needed to distribute mulch around a school garden we planted at earlier this Spring, to make sure the trees & plants are set up for success during the hot summer months. More details & sign up here: https://t.co/EBZncoBz3I

Although extreme heat is around the corner, Peoria, AZ will be benefitting from trees planted within the last year 🙌

Thanks to our partners at @EdwardJones and @TreesMatterAZ, this community will enjoy a cooler climate during the hot, summer months 🌤

Did you know that well placed trees can help you save on utility bills? Planting trees saves an average household $100-$250 on utility bills. Three trees placed strategically around a home can save consumption for cooling and heating by about 25% and its summer AC up to 50%.

Trees Matter, along with @ChispaAZ , @ProjectRoots1, @TigermountainFD, and Unlimited Potential, worked with Mitzi Epstein to introduce this bill.

Advocacy Win for Trees in Schools! AZ approved $300,000 to plant trees in public, low-income schools across the state. The Trees for Kids bill, or SB 1689, will give schools more resources for investing in trees and the benefits they will provide for generations of students!

Thank you One Tree Planted for providing the funding, Arbor Day Committee for helping plan and volunteer day-of, Tolleson staff & maintenance team for helping plan and maintain the trees long-term, Tolleson students for helping plant inventory, & Jenny Carrillo for taking photos

We had our first-ever school tree planting at a high school! We planted 43 trees at Tolleson High School, and the students supported in planting the trees and inventorying the trees afterwards!
