This looks like a pile of weeds, but it’s really hope for our future. Removing invasive species so that the trees planted here this fall will provide cooling, clean air, and wildlife benefits to help our communities thrive. #climatesolutions #youthforclimate #forestsforclimate

⁦@AmericanForests⁩, ⁦@1t_org_US⁩ were proud to help ⁦@girlscouts⁩ explore their dream green careers @ #PhenomByGirlScouts. We got lots of tree love back in return-girls from AK to Guam gave us swaps. My fave - Sasquatch from Spokane⁩ #GenerationRestoration

[Kara Ball @KaraUBall]

“My dream career helping trees is a hydrologist because I like to think and discover ways to help!” Excited to help @GirlScouts explore #GreenCareers @ #PhenomByGirlScouts ⁦@AmericanForests⁩ ⁦@1t_org_US⁩

[Kara Ball @KaraUBall]

True!

[Gisel Garza @Gcell_garza]

In order to be successful, conservation must be a collaborative practice between members of local communities, local partners, and nature! #comunidadYfamilia #latinoconservationweek2023 @AmericanForests @LCW_National

[Kara Ball @KaraUBall]

Very excited to be at #PhenomByGirlScouts sharing ⁦@AmericanForests⁩ Career Exploration and Development activities to spark girls’ interest in #GreenCareers. Huge shoutout to the amazing ⁦@EHallPhD⁩ whose work is the basis of these activities.

“What’s your dream career helping trees?” ⁦@AmericanForests⁩ is sparking interest in #GreenCareers w ⁦@1t_org_US⁩ partner ⁦@girlscouts⁩ @ #PhenomByGirlScouts. Hear from ⁦@Zai_wx #GenerationRestoration & Tia on what we have planned the next few days. ⁦

@1t_org_US newest pledge partner @CreationCare is elevating the leadership of congregations like Grace Midtown in #Atlanta for #TreeEquity and environmental stewardship. Especially love the commitment to being “Oaks of Righteousness” in their community! @AmericanForests

[EEN @CreationCare]

In June, local #Atlanta church Grace Midtown launched their inaugural “Pedal to the Park” event. Participants met at the church, got on their bikes, and rode to a local park to share a meal, talk about #TreeEquity, and recommit to being “Oaks of Righteousness” in their community!

“Living near green spaces could add 2.5 years to your life.” As many of us struggle to be outdoors this week due to the wildfire smoke, let’s be grateful for all those working to ensure everyone has full access to all the benefits of trees. @AmericanForests #treeequity

[Jim Ball @balljimphd]

So grateful for those advocating for Green Spaces and for tree equity, such as American Forests where my wife works, and the Evangelical Environmental Network, where I worked. ⁦@KaraUBall⁩ ⁦@JadDaley⁩ ⁦@jessica_moerman⁩ https://t.co/Ds10jjMkgA

Trees are cool! @AmericanForests #TreeEquity

We told you 🌳 are 😎.

POV: You're a Granjeno/Spiny hackberry fruit being collected. Granjeno are important plants in the RGV thornforests. Wildlife depend on these fruits for food and the pulp are a source of water especially now that summer has started. @AmericanForests

[Jad Daley @JadDaley]

The magic of @1t_org_US is having a ⛺️ big enough for everyone who wants to deliver change with 🌳, not just “forestry” orgs. This includes faith partners like @CreationCare. 🙏 Rev Dr @jessica_moerman for joining Summit with new pledge from Evangelical Environmental Network!

[Jad Daley @JadDaley]

That’s a wrap on incredible @1t_org_US Summit in NYC. Together we’ve grown a 🇺🇸 #TrillionTrees community that mobilizes all hands for all lands, from #TreeEquity in cities to protecting & restoring biodiverse forest landscapes. Join us to learn, innovate & scale up together! 💚🌳

@DalyErich

[Kara Ball @KaraUBall]

@girlscouts Amanda Daly and @JadDaley have been the heart and brains behind the #GirlScoutTreePromise. B/c of their commitment, Girl Scouts are planting and protecting trees across America + making our world better. So grateful to see them at @1t_org_US Summit! @AmericanForests

[Kara Ball @KaraUBall]

America is at our best when we come together to tackle the toughest challenges of our day. We've reforested America before and together we can do it again to make our communities healthier, tackle climate change, provide habitat, and restore watersheds. @AmericanForests

[Jad Daley @JadDaley]

Going retro as a reminder we've reforested 🇺🇸 once before--namely 3 billion 🌲 planted by CCC during the Great Depression. Another historic #reforestation move is coming 🙏 to BIL & IRA funds that will deliver jobs, natural CO2 capture, habitat & more.
