The environmental impact of #TeamTrees is significant: according to a U.S.Forest Serviceanalysis, planting 20 million trees will absorb 1.6 million tons of carbon – the equivalent of taking 1.24 million cars off the road for a year. Trees planted will help improve air and water quality, expand natural habitats for wildlife, and mitigate climate change.
The Arbor Day Foundation was selected to implement #TeamTrees planting thanks to their vast network of tree planting partners and their proven track record of successfully planting trees at this immense scale. In March of 2019, the nonprofit organization publicly announced itsTime for Treesinitiative, an effort to plant 100 million trees by Arbor Day of 2022.
