Our AmeriCorps volunteers are branching out and getting their hands dirty—literally! 🌳🌱🧤

On May 20, our AmeriCorps volunteers joined a Tree Stewards Indiana Young Professionals event at Margerum City Hall in partnership with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources.

The day was packed with learning, from tree inventories and urban forestry to exploring career opportunities in the environmental field. They also rolled up their sleeves for some hands-on training and helped plant three new trees that will benefit the community for years to come!

Thank you, AmeriCorps volunteers, for your continued service and dedication to our community! 💚
