Did you know there are many parts of the North End where tree canopy coverage is lower than the city average? This spring, we are teaming up with the North End Neighborhood Council to promote tree planting opportunities in the least-shaded parts of the neighborhood! 

Join us for a volunteer canvassing training on March 6th to learn how to talk to your North End neighbors about all the different ways they can access trees and planting resources. We will share our new maps of the best blocks for street trees in the neighborhood. Then, on Saturday, March 8th, we will organize a door-knocking activity to get the word out about the benefits of having trees in every neighborhood.   

This project is being funded by a Sustainability Small Grant from the City of Tacoma’s Environmental Services Department.
