As temperatures rise amid drought conditions in California, it’s important to remember to take care of one of the most valuable resources in our community — our trees. The Joshua Basin water District offers this advice…
Homeowners can neglect watering their trees when attempting to conserve water because they’re worried about water waste. Because of this, trees that are dependent on regular watering can deteriorate or die.
While homeowners may think they’re saving water, they’re actually causing more harm. Not only can dead trees increase the threat of brush fires, it diminishes providing habitat for our desert wildlife. Also, trees offer more benefits than just being beautiful: they reduce pollution, conserve water, prevent erosion and can even help save energy.
