Green spaces are key to combating record heat in marginalized communities
Project Petals’ green spaces cool neighborhoods, reduce heat-related health risks, and restore breathable, shaded places in communities hit hardest by rising temperatures. By converting vacant lots and underused public areas into tree-lined pocket parks, community gardens, and shaded pathways, Project Petals lowers surface and air temperatures, improves stormwater absorption, and creates refuge during extreme heat.
