MARYVALE, AZ — A Maryvale school is making some shady improvements that will hopefully benefit the area for years to come.
Trees Matter worked with the Cartwright School District to plant 18 trees at Peralta Elementary School, near 67th Avenue and Thomas Road, marking another step ahead in creating a more equitable tree canopy in the Valley of the Sun.
The organization's mission is to inspire others to learn the importance of all generations having lifelong access to the benefits of trees.
