\nThis year, Simplifile is sponsoring the planting of 2,289 trees with the Arbor Day Foundation. The trees will be planted in the Georgia Upper Altamaha Watershed, which the Arbor Day Foundation has identified as its greatest area of need. The Altamaha River watershed supports the largest concentration of rare species of any river in the state. More than 10 rare endangered plant and animal species are found in or along the river.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe founded Simplifile Cares in 2015 because we wanted to be able to give back, not just to our community, but to worthy causes nationwide,\u201d said Simplifile President Paul Clifford. \u201cBringing together our employees, customers and communities to support the Arbor Day Foundation in its launch of the Time for Trees initiative is an honor, and we look forward to doing all we can to help drive awareness around trees as a scalable solution to the world\u2019s most critical environmental issues.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Time for Trees initiative will leverage trees as a simple, powerful way to reverse the damage done by climate change and address the urgency of preserving the necessities of life \u2013 like clean air and water, healthy food and a livable climate \u2013 which are becoming increasingly compromised. This initiative is unique in that it will be powered by corporations, communities as well as individual citizens, showcasing the simplicity of tree planting \u2013 in one backyard or at scale. As part of this call to action, the Arbor Day Foundation is also inspiring 5 million tree planters to join in this initiative through existing partnerships and community programs.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Time for Trees initiative is an important step in protecting the necessities of life, but we can\u2019t do it alone. We\u2019re thrilled that partners like Simplifile are committed to coming together to drive change,\u201d said Dan Lambe, President of the Arbor Day Foundation.<\/p>\n
