Why trees?

Trees help the environment.They are like the lungs of the planet.
They breathe in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen.
Trees also reduce erosion to save soil, help preserve local water sources, and provide habitat for wildlife living.


Invite your family and friends to join you
in planting trees in your neighborhood park.
It is one of the best things you can do for the local environment.

To sign up as a volunteer contact: Chairperson Lion Chris Lee (clee95035@yahoo.com)
