Triple‑digit temperatures are expected this week. Please take a moment to review the signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. If you or someone around you begins feeling dizzy, nauseous, or unwell, move indoors and cool down right away. Stay safe!

Stay hydrated, PHX! Make sure you are drinking plenty of water even when you are not thirsty. If you are outdoors, the CDC recommend drinking 8 ounces of water every 15-20 minutes. Our Office of Innovation also offers a network of chilled water fountains and bottle-filling stations throughout downtown. Find chilled drinking water near you: https://bit.ly/4mVgpEI

Students at Clarendon Elementary rolled up their sleeves and helped plant 15 new native trees and grasses as part of the Canopy for Kids program! Additionally, students helped add in earth moving elements to capture rainwater for the trees.

Their energy and curiosity made this event something truly special — growing not just shade for the future, but a stronger connection to our urban forest. 💚

Huge thanks to our amazing partners who make this work possible:

Arizona State University College of Global Futures

Watershed Management Group

EcoRise

U.S. Forest Service

Together, we’re helping create cooler, greener spaces for our communities.

Phoenix students are making an impact! Students at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic School PHX and Catalina Ventura School planted more than 100 trees last week as part of the Canopy for Kids program. In addition, Watershed Management Group dug basins for rainwater collection and students spread mulch to support healthy tree growth. We’d like to thank our partners Arizona State University College of Global Futures, Watershed Management Group, EcoRise, and U.S. Forest Service for helping make this possible.
