Dear Tree Potting Conservation Force,

 

We have three opportunities next week to pitch in and help pot trees for improving the environment in Central AR.  We hope to see you there or see you there again! Every tree we pot and get planted provides food and shelter for birds, many of which have populations in decline.  These trees remove ozone from the urban air and the cool the urban environment.  They improve our health and the quality of the air that we breathe.  These trees stabilize erosion along streams and they help provide educational opportunities for the school children throughout the project area.  While seemingly mundane, these volunteer potting events and the volunteers participating are creating a tremendous positive community and environmental impact.

 

Thank you for all that you do for your communities and thank you for helping us get all of these trees potted so that they can all help improve our world!

 

Best regards,
