Our 7th annual Arbor Day tree planting was a huge success. The largest volunteer team we’ve ever had made the effort fun and efficient; we finished before noon!
Altogether, we planted 108 trees. These trees will provide beauty, shade, habitat, and carbon sequestration for decades to come.
Huge thanks to the following folks:
• Brent Valentine and his crew at for ordering, storing, caring for and transporting all the trees, bringing loads of tools and equipment, and teaching us all how to plant trees well.
• Jim Carter and the DLSP staff for hosting us, marking planting locations, providing wood chips, and watering the young trees this season.
• for contributing funding toward the project, and Bri Jimenez-Hull at orever for facilitating our grant.
• Taylar Foster and the for becoming new fiscal and volunteer partners this year.
• Bruno Klein and his team at for showing up to help for the third year in running.
• Maya Wilkes for cooking up a lunch feast to meet everyone’s dietary needs
Thanks to all our volunteers for bringing energy, extra shovels, and great attitudes to the planting event.
Small business owners, we were inspired by other folks, and we’d love it if we inspired you. If every small business did one or two community service projects annually, our country would be a different place.
