We can't battle the impacts of climate change, but we can plant trees to decrease the rising temperatures we’re feeling in Arizona. Fruit and food-producing trees, as well as edible gardens, not only provide shade but can potentially strengthen our local food system with the food they provide.
TigerMountain Foundation walks us through a collaboration with Trees Matter that honors the lives lost to Covid-19, addresses food insecurity through the planting of fruit trees, and improves the shade canopy at Spaces of Opportunity located in South Phoenix.
In Tucson, learn how the Iskashitaa Refugee Network is gleaning residential fruit trees to empower refugees and feed vulnerable communities. Also meet Herman Harris and Randiesia Fletcher who are creating a food forest in Tucson to feed their community and provide a shaded reprieve for those relying on public transit.
