Creating a Greener Tomorrow

Hello Subaru of Valencia partnered with TreePeople to host the second annual Plant a Tree event in the beautiful San Francisquito Canyons. This initiative had 16 dedicated volunteers from Hello Subaru staff and their families plant 12 trees! It brought families together with a purpose: contributing to the reforestation efforts crucial for our environment’s health and future. In the past two years, Hello Suabru has planted 52 trees. TreePeople is a nonprofit organization that empowers communities to unite and take action for the environment, mainly focusing on trees and urban forestry. In our community, TreePeople plays a vital role by organizing tree-planting events, educating residents about the importance of trees, and advocating for sustainable urban development practices. Their efforts not only enhance the beauty of our community but also provide numerous environmental benefits, such as improving air quality, reducing the urban heat island effect, conserving water, and supporting biodiversity. TreePeople’s commitment to creating healthier, more resilient communities through tree planting and environmental education significantly and positively impacts our local environment and quality of life. San Francisquito Canyon, only miles away from hello Subaru, is known for its breathtaking landscapes and rich biodiversity, was the chosen site for this event, underscoring the importance of nurturing natural habitats that support a wide array of wildlife. With shovels and gloves, the volunteers worked hard to pull weeds and plant trees. The heartfelt words of one volunteer and their family resonated deeply: “What I’m going to do now that we have a tree planted with my family is to come often to see its growth. This means a lot to us as a family, as we teach our kids the importance of giving back to the environment.” Showing its impact not just on our planet but everyone involved through shared experiences and giving a sense of purpose. After a day of hard work and making a difference in the canyon, the volunteers gathered to celebrate their accomplishments with a well-deserved pizza party at Toppers. This gathering was about enjoying delicious food and reflecting on their efforts’ impact and the shared commitment to environmental conservation. The Plant a Tree event reminds everyone that they can contribute to our planet’s health and showcases how partnerships can lead to significant positive changes in our environment. As the trees planted in San Francisquito Canyon grow, they will stand as a testament to what can be achieved when a community comes together for a noble cause. Hello Subaru of Valencia hopes to inspire others to do their part, big or small, and contribute to a greener, more sustainable world.
