Start an At-Home Garden or Plant a Tree

IMPACT – Why should you invest your time in this service project?

Planting trees reduces the effects of climate change as they purify our air while starting an at-home garden encourages food sustainability and self-sufficiency as you grow your own food. Both services also reinforce the importance and practice of land stewardship.
