Benefits

Apart from being a vital part of our ecosystem, Trees offer other benefits as well:

• Tree lined streets have a traffic calming effect, traffic moves more slowly and safely.

• Trees slow water runoff.

  • Flash flooding can be significantly reduced by planting trees. According to About.com, a Colorado Blue Spruce, either planted or growing wild, can intercept more than 1,000 gallons of water annually when fully grown, which helps recharge underground aquifers.

• Trees prevent soil erosion.

  • A tree’s root system binds the soil and its leaves provide a barrier to the wind and rain; thus preventing soil erosion.

• Trees help buffer noise pollution.

  • Trees that are planted at strategic points in a neighborhood or around your house can abate major noises. This is especially nice if you live near a freeway or airport.

• Trees cool our homes, streets, and cities.

  • Trees can cool a city by up to 10° Fahrenheit by shading homes and streets, breaking up urban “heat islands”, and releasing water vapor into the air through their leaves.

• Our Mission
  • Our mission is to provide food to alleviate hunger and to enrich the soil as well as the air and water cycles of the earth so we can combat pollution.
  • Our programs seek to donate trees, training, and aftercare where the harvest will best serve communities for generations -- including public schools, city parks, community gardens, food banks and low-income neighborhoods.
  • The benefits are the piece of mind of having more fruit trees in our communities that we know are helping enrich the quality of the planet.

    • We will help strengthen our sense of community

    • We will be helping the environment!

    • We will bring awareness to new generations about the caring of a tree and the value of witnessing something grow.
• Our Approach
  • We organize monthly planting events with volunteers.
  • We seek donations to buy trees, food, and tools necessary for the tree planting events
  • We make sure the trees that are planted are native to the land*
