Years ago, I was executive director of a non-profit organization. Early in that period we were struggling financially, as many non-profits do from time to time.
The Greening of Detroit’s 2014 Citizen Forester Program, 138 volunteers, 24 Citizen Forester volunteers, and 10 staff turned out on a Saturday to roll up their sleeves to plant over 100 trees.
Forests provide us clean air, filter our water, sustain an unbelievable breadth of plant and animal life, and offer an incredible sanctuary to recharge our spirits.
