Dear Friends,
We have kept busy in the past couple months: we held two training for Youth Planting Supervisors, that empower young people to lead tree planting events in the future. They learn urban forestry skills, how to supervise volunteers and manage such events.
One of our newly certified Supervisors is Meera who lives in El Segundo, CA our hometown. Leaving the training she said "The Tree Planting Supervisor class was truly worth my while. I learned so much about trees; little nuances that made planting them all the more beautiful! I now can plant and care for trees efficiently and effectively, skills that are essential for caring for the environment."
Meera actually ended up taking a step further by joining Tree Musketeers' Youth Management Team in December. She has already supervised a few tree care events and is enjoying her new role as a youth leader.
We hope you are as proud as we are of the young leaders like Meera who choose to take on an essential role in their community and join our the efforts to stop global warming. We couldn't do it without you and on behalf of Meera, Jasmine and the many other young environmental leaders at Tree Musketeers we want to say THANK YOU!
P.S. We are right in the middle of planning our biggest annual event: Arbor Day. If you are in the Los Angeles South Bay area, we would love to have you join us and hundreds of volunteers on March 8th. Check out the link below to learn more and register. The event is free and open to people of all ages.
