Unitarian Universalist Church of Cherry Hill to Support Camden Trees in June

tree2The NJ Tree Foundation (NJTF) is proud to announce that our friends at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Cherry Hill (UUCCH) will be supporting our tree planting efforts in Camden through a split-plate donation program this June! At every UUCCH service this month, offerings made by members will be split with NJTF to support the Urban Airshed Reforestation Program, which plants “the right tree for the right place” along inner-city streets of Camden with the help of residents and volunteers. In addition to planting trees, this generous donation will also help fund our educational workshops, including Fruit Tree Farmers and Camden TreeKeepers.

The UUCCH’s commitment to the mission of the NJ Tree Foundation goes back more than 5 years! Every spring and fall, volunteers from the UUCCH attend our community tree plantings to dig holes, plant trees, lay mulch, and see the transformation of city streets first-hand. The UUCCH, along with NJTF, sees the value in bringing nature back into urban communities. We are so thankful to them for selecting us as the June split-plate donation organization!

Open mass is held every Sunday at 10:15am at 401 N. Kings Highway in Cherry Hill, NJ and visitors are welcome!

Update: The UUCCH generously donated nearly $1,500 to the NJ Tree Foundation during their June split-plate collection program. We are extremely honored to have been chosen as their June cause and extend a sincere thanks to UUCCH and its members for your support!
