We can't battle the large impacts of climate change, but we can plant trees to decrease the rising temperatures we’re currently feeling in Arizona.

Meet several Arizona farmers and organizations who are planting trees to cast shade on our warming desert, and how edible landscapes and fruit trees are addressing food insecurity and supporting more fruitful harvests in vulnerable communities.
