2020 Tree Planting at Blandford Nature Center

Team members from our firm spent the day at the Blandford Nature Center and planted 45 trees in an area of Blandford that previously had invasive tree species taken down and needed to be repopulated with native trees. It was a great team building opportunity and a way to give back to our community and planet. They may have been small trees, but like Dr. Seuss’s Onceler said “I know it may seem small and insignificant, but it’s not about what it is, it’s about what it can become”
