April 2008

Thanks to everyone who participated in the Timberland Earth Day event with Sustainable South Bronx yesterday! Here’s Timberland CEO, Jeff Swartz getting down and dirty and planting a tree.

Check out the coverage here and watch video of the event below:

On April 22, we’ll be in the Bronx re-greening the space shown below. To learn more, RSVP through Facebook!

We discovered this video on YouTube. What’s your take? We’re all for planting trees, but is this the right way to do it? Of course, these trees will likely be removed and the sidewalk paved over. Is the public awareness that is generated worth the effort (and worth one tree that will end up as woodchips?)
