In one fiscal year, we have reached 731 residents with our "We Love Trees" Walk the Town, educational canvassing program! With this program, we discuss the benefits of trees and ask our residents for their commitment to water!
Through tree planting, Walk the Town, educational booths, and training workshops, we have engaged over 1000 volunteers & have seen an increase in involvement by almost 50%!
Piloting our method of community engagement, we have seen a drop in the average street tree mortality rate from ~20% to ~10%
