The Problem

Declining tree cover and limited reforestation efforts continue to contribute to climate change, poor air quality, and loss of biodiversity. Our community needs more simple and organized ways for people to help plant trees and take part in long-term environmental efforts.

Our Plan

Through Deep Roots, we run a student-led project focused on raising money and planting trees to help the environment. We organize fundraising efforts in the community, and the money raised goes toward tree planting. We also lead planting drives where students and volunteers take part in planting trees. This work is ongoing and continues to grow as more people get involved. Our goal is to create real environmental impact while encouraging students to take responsibility for sustainability.
