We’re part of the world’s biggest huddle, are you? You can be! We are partnering with the NY/NJ Super Bowl Host Committee to plant 2,014 trees. As part of this effort, 1,800 4-5′ trees will be given away in New Jersey counties that were most negatively impacted by Hurricane Sandy – Atlantic, Bergen, Cape May, Essex, Hudson, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean, and Union. We will also be planting 214 large trees, 12-15′ tall, throughout New Jersey.
So how can you get in our huddle? There are several ways to get involved:
1) We are still looking for partners to help give away trees in Cape May, Hudson, Middlesex, Ocean, and Union Counties. Fill out this survey if you would like to host a tree giveaway.
2) Adopt a tree in your county! 200 trees will be given through a first come, first serve application in the nine counties listed above. Monmouth County residents! Get your tree here.
3) We will need tree planting volunteers to plant 214 large trees! Our planting schedule will be posted on our website and advertised on our Twitter and Facebook Page in the coming weeks.
4) Support us with a donation ! Just $35 will allow us to give away a tree to reforest after Hurricane Sandy.
Stay tuned for progress on this great project! We are thrilled to have your help in this exciting partnership with the Super Bowl Host Committee.
On a beautiful day, we planted 37 trees and 40 shrubs/perennials to reforest Bay Head Elementary School. The entire school came out to plant and mulch their new trees and landscape. Verizon Green Team members and Super Bowl Host Committee staff helped guide the students in the planting.
