Downtown Neighborhood Association neighborhood is below the average tree canopy for Albuquerque, so we are planting trees for shade along sidewalks and yards. These trees help to reduce the heat island effect, help make the neighborhood more walk-able, help with safety as trees provide traffic calming, and the trees also reduce energy costs and provide wildlife habitat.
