Purple Heart Park Tree Care Event

Join Tucson Clean and Beautiful for a tree planting in Purple Heart Park on Wednesday, March 20th from 830am-11am! Our team will be meeting at Purple Heart Park , 9800 E Rita Rd, Tucson, AZ 85747. Please wear close-toed shoes, a hat, sunscreen, and bring along a refillable water bottle (to reduce plastic waste). We supply all necessary tools, gloves, and filtered drinking water. Tucson Clean and Beautiful in collaboration with Mayor Romero’s Tucson Million Trees Initiative is dedicated to increasing equity by creating more green spaces and tree canopy in frontline and low-income communities in Tucson that are most impacted by the effects of climate change and extreme heat. For more information about the Tucson Million Trees Initiative, visit https://climateaction.tucsonaz.gov/pages/milliontrees Help increase our city’s tree canopy, build strong communities and support Mayor Romero’s Tucson Million Trees initiative by volunteering to plant trees! Tree planting is fun for all ages, and volunteers always leave with a sense of accomplishment knowing they’ve made an impact that lasts generations. We will also be helping our trees out with some much needed care. Tasks include anything from adding new mulch to structural pruning. We will also be planting several new trees that needed replacing.
