Story
Who wants to ride ~440 miles on a bike to raise money for tree research and education?
I do, actually... but since this is my first road race... I'll be starting with 50:).
In September, my bike and I will riding in the 2022 Tour des Trees to benefit TREE Fund. I’ve signed up to ride ~50 miles and raise $1,000 for TREE Fund because I believe that the tree research and environmental education this ride supports are critical to the well-being of our communities and all of us who inhabit them.
Urban trees are vital to our survival. They reduce air pollution, sequester carbon, control erosion, shelter us from heat and wind, and add beauty to our lives. Trees give us respite from the stressors of our daily lives, but did you know that living in cities is stressful for trees? Pests, diseases, construction, pollution and neglect put the trees in our communities at risk every day. The research and education funded by TREE Fund via the Tour des Trees helps to ensure that tree care professionals are well equipped with best practices and the latest techniques to keep the trees we live with healthy and thriving.
Would you consider donating to my campaign? Since TREE Fund Partners defray event costs, you can rest assured that 100% of your donation to my campaign will support tree research and education.
In addition, my colleague Pete Smith will provide a one-hour tree consultation to any donor (Lincoln area) that donates $50 or more to the cause -- what an offer!
