Tucson Million Trees
Every Saturday during planting season (October – March) we plant up to 100 trees at once, one neighborhood at a time. Two hours of planting with with neighbors, youth leaders, and volunteers move us closer to our goal of shading and cooling Tucson’s future, especially in Tucson’s hottest neighborhoods. future. Volunteer with us, donate, plant trees at your home, help us plant a million trees!
Green Stormwater
Infrastructure mini-grant program
Tucsonans understand that water is precious. We also know the issues it can create when it comes all at once during a monsoon storm. The Green Stormwater Infrastructure Mini-Grant (GSI Mini-Grant) program allows neighbors the chance to slow stormwater and spread it into green space along the city streets and public areas.
The GSI Mini-Grant Program developed by the City of Tucson Water Department and administered by Tucson Clean and Beautiful provides neighbors and community groups in the City of Tucson the ability to install stormwater harvesting features in their neighborhoods. GSI Mini-Grants are available within each Tucson Council Ward. The maximum grant award for each Ward is $45,000. Multiple smaller grants may be awarded up to $45,000.
The overall objective of the program is to build climate-resilient communities through using neighborhood-based, participatory green infrastructure projects to increase public open space, improve public and environmental health and quality of life.
Neighborhoods benefit from harvesting stormwater when projects include trees and vegetation. Communities are cooler. Recreation is encouraged. Property values increase. Air quality improves. Traffic slows down. Trees create a sense of place. Quality of life is enhanced, and stormwater management improves during small rain events.
Join with your neighbors and submit a proposal. Your neighborhood will be better for it!
