Tucson Million Trees aims to plant one million trees citywide by 2030 with priority placement in low-canopy, heat-vulnerable neighborhoods, advancing CAAP equity goals and partnering with Tucson Clean and Beautiful and Tucson Water for free residential trees.
Launched alongside the CAAP, Tucson Million Trees coordinates plantings on city land, school sites, and qualifying private yards, prioritizing neighborhoods with low existing canopy and high summer heat exposure. Trees Please and similar programs offer free desert-adapted trees to residents who attend a planting workshop. The program tracks plantings against canopy-equity targets pulled from heat-vulnerability mapping and integrates with parkway planting under DTM and stormwater harvesting basins funded through Tucson Water green infrastructure rebates.
There are no penalties for non-participation. Misuse of free program trees, such as commercial resale or removal of subsidized plantings, can disqualify a property from future participation.
