About the Community Canopy Project Henderson

The Community Canopy Project Henderson helps residents plant shade trees to make neighborhoods cooler and more comfortable.
Trees reduce heat, clean the air, and make homes more energy efficient.

Most trees will go to residents who registered early, but a limited number will be available for walk-ups.
Parents with children at C.T. Sewell Elementary can also receive a tree during the event.
The goal is to inspire families to plant trees and protect the environment together.
