Tucson Clean and Beautiful kicked off their tree-planting season by planting 98 trees in private property in the Midtown Dodge Flower and Doolen Fruitvale neighborhoods. The organization is targeting areas with low tree equity, using a map to identify neighborhoods that need more trees.
Tucson Clean and Beautiful kicked off their tree-planting season by planting 98 trees in private property in the Midtown Dodge Flower and Doolen Fruitvale neighborhoods. Tucson 's tree equity map marks out where trees are needed most around town. In Doolen Fruitvale, the map says the temperature is 4.3 degrees hotter than Tucson 's average temperature. Dodge Flower, it says, is 5.1 degrees.
Each yard got three native trees. One of the organizers of the neighborhood's collaboration with Tucson Clean and Beautiful, Bob Bortner, says working towards neighborhood beautification is good for the community.“My view on this is if you don’t get involved yourself,' Bortner said. 'You lose your right to complain about it. So, the idea is for us all to get together and get involved, and that preserves my right to complain.
