Partnering To Plant 50,000 Trees
Arbor Day Foundation & Founders Brewing To Help Restore Three Forests The Arbor Day Foundation is partnering with Founders Brewing Co. to plant a total of 50,000 trees in three forests across the U.S. in 2022. Each project – located in Florida, Michigan, and Oregon – will focus reforestation efforts on lands that have suffered significant declines in tree population due to centuries of deforestation and recent natural disasters. Lake Louisa State Park in central Florida is in much need of native longleaf pine trees to restore endemic habitats for many species of regional plants and wildlife. Throughout Michigan, recovery efforts in multiple forests and public lands are being carried out alongside the state’s Department of Natural Resources to replant ecosystems that have been lost to decades of deforestation beginning in the late 19th century. In the Pacific Northwest, trees are in critical need following the 2020 Holiday Farm Fire which burned more than 170,000 acres of the Willamette National Forest within the McKenzie River Valley – the municipal water source for the city of Eugene, OR. Over the course of 40 years, the trees planted through this partnership are projected to sequester over 43,530 tons of CO2 and remove over 200 tons of air pollution from the atmosphere. “We are thrilled to be working with such an environmentally dedicated and passionate partner like Founders,” said Dan Lambe, Chief Executive of the Arbor Day Foundation. “As one of their primary pillars of business, sustainability is ingrained into everything they do.” ...
