Roots & Shoots members joined with members of the Phoenix Permaculture Guild to help our neighbors and the hungry while addressing the local roof rat problem. Roof rats feed on the citrus fruit remaining on trees, then find their way onto people’s roofs and into homes, while spreading disease. Our team of volunteers picked oranges and grapefruits to deliver to local foodbanks. From one yard, R&S members delivered nearly 400 pounds to a local food bank one day. With less fruit available to them, the roof rats do not reproduce as quickly.
