In this episode - Part 3 of this series (check out the prior video here : • Part 2 "The World Doesn't Have to Suck" - ... ) - we follow up on Brad Lancaster's work Guerilla Planting Trees on a bleak section of concrete in his Tucson neighborhood. After that, we check out some legal and permitted installations of trees and rainwater catchment basins he and his community installed on the sidewalks and street margins for the purposes of shading the streets, reducing urban heat and more.

Your contributions support this content. It sounds cliché but it's true. Whether it's travel expenses, vehicle repair, or medical costs for urushiol poisoning (or rockfalls, bee-stings, hand slices, toxic sap, etc), your financial support allows this content to continue so the beauty of Earth's flora can be made accessible to the public, accompanied by a small dose of profanity and crude humor. At a time when so much is disappearing beneath the human footprint, CPBBD is willing to do whatever it takes to document these plant species and the ecological communities they are a part of before they're gone for good.
