Cooling and greening the west
We have planted 700 trees into the ground at Cherry Lake in Altona with visions to plant more at various locations across the west in 2022. These trees will help reduce the urban heat island effect which leads to higher temperatures and lower air quality in those urban communities without enough vegetation.
