APS Community Tree Program provides free trees to vulnerable communities

At Barrett Propane Prescott, we are proud to be involved in the APS Community Tree Program, an initiative aimed at providing free trees to vulnerable communities. With a focus on environmental improvement and community well-being, this program has been making a significant impact on the areas it serves.

Why Trees Matter

Trees play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy ecosystem. They provide oxygen, filter pollutants from the air, conserve water, and provide shade and habitat for various species. Additionally, trees contribute to reducing the urban heat island effect and help combat climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide. By planting trees in vulnerable communities, we can enhance the quality of life for residents and improve the overall environmental health of the area.

The APS Community Tree Program

The APS Community Tree Program is a collaborative effort between Barrett Propane Prescott and APS (Arizona Public Service Company). Through this program, we aim to make a positive difference by providing free trees to communities that are facing environmental challenges.

Supporting Vulnerable Communities

The APS Community Tree Program focuses on supporting vulnerable communities, including low-income neighborhoods and areas that have been affected by natural disasters. By offering free trees, we aim to beautify these neighborhoods, enhance community pride, and foster a sense of belonging.

Environmental and Community Benefits

By planting trees, we not only contribute to a greener environment but also provide numerous benefits to the community. Some of these benefits include:

• Improved air quality through the capturing of pollutants
• Reduced energy costs through shading and windbreaks
• Stormwater management and erosion control through increased water absorption
• Enhanced biodiversity and habitat creation for local wildlife

How to Get Involved

Getting involved in the APS Community Tree Program is easy. If you are a community member or organization in need of trees, you can apply to participate in the program through our website. Our team will evaluate the applications and select the communities that would benefit the most from tree planting initiatives.

Ongoing Support and Education

Barrett Propane Prescott and APS provide ongoing support and education to help communities take care of the trees they receive. We offer resources, such as tree care guidelines and workshops, to ensure the long-term success and health of the planted trees.
