Greening Our Cities
Urban trees do more than beautify neighborhoods—they provide shade, reduce urban heat, improve air quality, and strengthen local ecosystems. Our urban forestry programs focus on planting native and drought-resistant trees in communities most impacted by rising temperatures. By engaging residents, businesses, and local leaders, we ensure long-term tree care and equitable access to green spaces.
GROW Tucson
GROW Tucson is a grant initiative focused on making Tucson's hottest neighborhoods cooler and greener. Our projects bring neighbors together to create Green Spaces that tackle heat and drought with nature-based solutions. Supported by the Forest Service, we’re working directly with nine CJEST disadvantaged neighborhoods to expand green spaces and foster a sustainable, resilient future.
Arizona State University’s Sustainability Teachers Academy
WMG proudly partners with Arizona State University’s Sustainability Teachers Academy to empower educators with hands-on, place-based solutions for teaching sustainability. Through workshops, field experiences, and curriculum development, we equip K-12 teachers with the tools to integrate water conservation, rainwater harvesting, and climate resilience into their classrooms.
Faith-Based & Non-Profit Partnerships
Through collaborations with faith-based organizations and non-profits, we help to build rain gardens, resilience, and skills in our communities.
