From your morning coffee to your evening shower, water is part of just about everything we do. But how often do we stop to think about what life would look like without it?

Today, we observe Imagine A Day Without Water, a reminder that protecting our water resources takes all of us. Through regional collaboration and forward-thinking initiatives like the One Water Plan, we're working to keep clean, reliable water flowing for generations to come. 💧

Last call for My Tree, Our Tree!🌳📣 Don't miss your chance to register for a free overcup oak tree for your yard.

Known as keystone species, oaks are foundational to the health of Cary’s ecosystem. Their majestic branches, iconic foliage, and abundant acorns serve as a major source of food and shelter for wildlife.🦋🪺

Oaks develop deep roots that absorb stormwater on your property, helping to reduce the impact of urban flooding.🌧️

And, when summer temperatures rise, your oak tree will grow to provide abundant shade that will cool your home while combating heat island effects in your neighborhood.🌡️🍃

Reserve your own oak tree today by visiting carync.gov/mytreeourtree. Town of Cary, NC
