[Southern_AZ_MWS] Volunteer Opportunity - October 27, 2007 - 1, 000 Trees for Tucson

[Meghan Maloney]

As a part of the nationwide Make a Difference Day efforts to be held on
October 27, 2007, Tucson Clean & Beautiful has partnered with Tucson
Electric Power and other sponsors toward the goal of planting of 1,000 Trees
for Tucson! Trees help to provide shade and keep our community cooler,
collect carbon dioxide and other pollutants from our atmosphere and water,
create wildlife habitat, and much more.

 

Volunteer groups are being sought to help reach this goal and to help
improve community sites across the Tucson and Pima County metropolitan area.
Eligible nonprofit/community project sites that volunteers can assist in
planting trees include schools, parks, streets, nonprofit/community
organization buildings, and more!

 

NOW is the time to organize your community to plant trees in yards, parks,
public buildings, streets and schools. Trees planted now provide more shade
in the future.

of additional trees in the Tucson area, consider making a donation to the

online by credit card, or by mail with your check.
