Our History
In July of 2019 Dr. Lauren Schroeder (retired Director of the Department of Environmental Science at Youngstown State University) wrote a letter to the editor of the Youngstown Vindicator warning of the dangers of Climate Change. Frank Bishop, who was inspired by the letter, took it upon himself to launch a new organization to plant trees to reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

This is our latest project. We are collaborating with Trumbull Neighborhood Partnership. The location is on Hall Street in Warren Ohio. We will plant a mini forest of 85 trees on this lot.
