Growing a Greener Tucson: GROW Tucson Takes Root in 2025

In the heart of the Sonoran Desert, an inspiring transformation is taking root – and Watershed Management Group is proud to be a part of it. This coming year, we’re joining forces with GROW Tucson to help turn some of our city’s hottest neighborhoods into cool, thriving green spaces.

At Watershed Management Group, we know that meaningful change happens when communities and ecosystems grow together. That’s why this initiative goes beyond planting trees – we’re creating places of hope, shade, and connection. With our expertise in rainwater harvesting and sustainable green infrastructure, we’re helping design landscapes that capture every precious drop of rain to nurture both the trees and the people who call these neighborhoods home.

Imagine this: neighbors gathering under the shade of Native mesquites, children playing in cooler, greener spaces and desert brds finding new homes in urban canopies. That's the vision GROW Tucson is bringing to life! 

What makes this effort special is the community-first approach. Working alongside residents who know their neighborhoods best, we’re co-creating solutions that don’t just combat heat and drought but also strengthen connections and resilience. These green spaces will slow erosion, recharge groundwater, and cool our urban heat islands – proving that even in the desert, a greener, more sustainable future is possible.

Together, with GROW Tucson and our community partners, Watershed Management Group is helping to create a legacy of shade, water, and connection – transforming challenges into opportunities and neighborhoods into thriving oases.
