Branches to Roots is a community-driven interdisciplinary initiative to propagate and plant more trees. Air layering, a cost-effective tree propagation method that can be learned and practiced, to address climate change in El Paso County. By teaching students how branches may be stewarded into trees, we increase climate action and hope, as well as the many benefits of trees: carbon sequestration. Students will work with local organizations participating in hands-on workshops, and field trips. The project will gather data on the optimization of propagation and develop the first citizen science report on tree propagation techniques in desert regions. We aim to present findings at educational spaces, to provide valuable STEM learning opportunities for underrepresented students.
