Our tree database continues to grow and develop. Contact us at info@treesmatter.org for suggestions to add/update, or to share photos of the trees we don't have images for yet. We want to thank Maricopa County Air Quality Department for sharing their Urban Tree Selection List, which is our main source of information for this database. CLICK HERE to see their spreadsheet. Thank you to our former interns Tanya Rincon, Kenny Tjong, Aaron Serva, and Jessica Hummel who have each helped over various years to create, update, and maintain this free resource for the community. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
