Planting Trees for the Future

Join AWE and EPA WaterSense for another one of our combined outdoor webinars!

 In 2012, the U.S. Forest Service published the results of an urban forest assessment that identified Albuquerque, New Mexico, as one of the worst areas for urban tree loss in the United States. In response, the Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority (ABCWUA) launched the “Treebate” program to promote tree care, proper watering, and tree planting among its customers.

Join Amos Arber and Carlos Bustos to learn about ABCWUA’s “Treebate” program, as well as incentives, education, partnerships, and irrigation guidelines that ABCWUA has implemented to support the restoration of the urban forest in Albuquerque.
