NJ Tree Planting
Alanya at South Orange-Maplewood (SOMA), NJ
$2,000
In conjunction with the student-run nonprofit Tree-Plenish (www.tree-plenish.org), Alanya took the lead in organizing an event to plant 900 trees throughout her community. SOMA is particularly in need of trees not only because its high school is considered a heat island, but also because the community at large removed approximately 700 trees in 2023 (not including dead or diseased trees or those on public land).
Stay tuned for more information about this project.
