Urban Forestry Glendale

The Idea

Community tree plantings provide many benefits for the communities in which they are planted. Shade reduces the urban heat island effect, reduces cooling needs for surrounding areas, and provides shade for walking, living, or playing. Trees filter many pollutants from the air, helping create a healthier environment. Trees help control water in the ground/soil, providing shade that helps prevent evaporation and helping to control flooding during storms. Trees can also provide food. There are many studies on how trees positively impact our health and the urban environment.

A typical community tree planting project would involve approximately 25 trees and this can be in a public space or a privately owned space that would benefit the community. Suitable locations might be a local park, a local school or the grounds of a community center. This guide walks you through some of the practical information and steps you need to take to get a project like this up and running locally. You can apply for funding to cover the cost of your trees, tools and organizing your tree planting day. Get started today

ThThis project reunited over 15 community members called “AZ Tree Pals. Members from all backgrounds came together to help make a difference in a critical issue , climate change. This is truly what inspired the whole project if we can plant trees more often at a steady rate “AZ Tree Pals”, believes that it could help the local community carbon catch, find fulfillment and lead to more local projects. Change x provided a powerful tool for this project by providing seed funding, with a clear outline to help us get mobilized. Thank you change x for proving our community with a local initiative opportunity that is rare and unique. This is just the beginning of more impact and change that we will transpire as a group we are eager to start our own LLC to continue urban beautification projects.
