TUCSON, Ariz. (KOLD News 13) - Tucson Mayor Regina Romero has pledged her commitment to the Tucson Million Trees initiative by joining the 1t.org US Chapter Stakeholder Council, a group of people from corporate sectors, nonprofits and civil society with a shared goal: One trillion trees conserved, restored and grown globally by 2030.
In her effort to sustain this pledge, the Tucson mayor aims to plant one million trees by 2030 to increase the cityâs canopy and create larger green spaces, especially in frontline and low-income communities most impacted by extreme heat and environmental degredation.
