Um, we were very fortunate that Parks and Wreck came to us because Arizona Sustainability had provided them trees for planting and they had more than what was needed. So they came to us, they met with um the Cactus Canyon Canyon principal and Michael Talent. Um they drew out a sketch of where the best places to have those trees to replace ones that have, you know, got windb blown and died over the years. Um so and they had in partnership with Parks and
003Wreck, which um augured the holes for them. We had a little delay in in setting up because of water issues in some places, but Michael has worked with Arizona Sustainability and so we got 14 trees to beautify the campus at uh Cactus Canyon. >> So what you're doing today is approving that agreement that we're going to do our very best to keep those trees alive in the heat. >> Great.
