Save Water at Home, Starting Indoors
Free water-saving kits for Chollas Creek Watershed residents
San Diego is a semi-arid region that relies heavily on imported water. As droughts become longer and hotter due to climate change, conserving water at home helps protect our shared water supply, reduce household costs, and prepare our community for the future.
Why Plant a Free Tree?
Adding trees to your yard does so much more than just look beautiful.
📉 Lower Energy Bills: Enjoy natural shade and cooling that keeps AC costs down.
🧠 Boost Mental Health: Green spaces support your well-being while creating vital habitats for local birds and animals.
🏡 Increase Property Value: More trees mean a more beautiful, valuable, and connected community.
🛡️ Flood & Erosion Prevention: Tree roots naturally absorb rainwater, prevent erosion, and reduce local flooding.
🍃 Fresher Air & Less Noise: Trees purify the air, produce oxygen, and act as a natural sound barrier.
