In just 4 years, the MC-IRIS group has spent 564 hours volunteering on the Hoosier NF. They’re working to remove invasive Japanese stilt grass from the Hayes and Grubb Ridge Trails and the heavily used Pate Hollow trail. #NationalVolunteerMonth fs.usda.gov/detail/r9/work…

For decades, Sharon Hexum-Platzer has championed many trail improvement efforts and collaborated with a variety of partners on the SuperiorNF. #NationalVolunteerMonth

Yeah, but have you considered treeing?

Birding is always better than not birding.

Not to point fingers, but some areas of the state are crushing this whole tree planting thing. 117,000+ trees planted by you!

(not to brag, but we have already planted 17 million 😎)

Here’s a fun fact for #ArborDay : Did you know tree canopy cover can reduce temps by 11-19 degrees Fahrenheit compared to communities with no tree cover? Planting #trees helps combat dangerous heat islands in our cities. #urbanforests #FundingUrbanForestry fs.usda.gov/managing-land/…

Happy #ArborDay ! Diverse, properly placed and cared for trees are essential for mitigating the impacts of climate change. We are proud to collaborate with #FundingUrbanForestry partners to improve communities for all. USDA Forest Service
