Seeking two-wheeled tree planters!
By Jenny Bedell-Stiles
What could be better than planting trees? How about planting trees by bike for a carbon-negative tree planting? This is the third season Friends of Trees has relied on the energy of our volunteers to plant trees by bike. Check out this YouTube video we created to see what all the fun is about!
