30 Trees for 30 Years

On Saturday, May 25th, volunteers, neighbors, earthday365 staff, and St. Louis Earth Day Festival Founders met to take part in a celebratory tree planting that took place in historic

O’Fallon Park, St. Louis in honor of the 30th Anniversary St. Louis Earth Day Festival.

earthday365 board member, Colleen Autry, wanted to create a project for the community that would last for future generations, and incorporate the 30th theme.

Colleen explained,

    Planting these 30 trees will provide shade and beauty for the next thirty years and beyond, in O’Fallon Park. Our city parks are one of the biggest assets to residents of St. Louis, as they provide green space, recreation, habitat, and help support a more sustainable future for our neighbors.
