Why Here And Now?
Barnum and Valverde, two low-canopy neighborhoods, are particularly vulnerable to extreme heat and water scarcity impacts.
A Solution
Our Community Climate Ambassadors have surveyed community members regarding resources that would help them conserve water and mitigate heat. Our CCAs use this resident input to plan local, resident-focused community education campaigns, and will soon be working on community tree plantings and home-based water conservation projects, like helping residents install rain barrels or gutter re-directs for irrigation, according to what residents say they need.
