Planting Change: Community Kick-Off Event
April 27 @ 12:00 PM - 3:00 PM
At Keep Akron Beautiful, we are excited to introduce and launch the Planting Change: 100k Trees for Akron campaign!
Did you know that Akron’s tree coverage has declined from 40% to 34%?
In the last decade, the tree canopy is projected to decrease to 30% by 2040. This is why the Planting Change campaign has an ambitious goal to plant 100,000 trees by 2034! This will help to restore the city’s green canopy and maintain a balanced ecosystem.
Join us as we kick off this campaign at Hardesty Park for a free community event on April 27th (immediately following Arbor Day)! The event will include food vendors, craft stations, art vendors, and the first 100 attendees will receive a FREE white oak tree seedling! #100KTreesforAkron
