 Odwalla Plant a Tree program
The state park system is participating in the Odwalla Plant a Tree program. This
program allows people across the nation to vote for the state park system where
they want trees to be planted.
Odwalla has committed $200,000 to the
campaign and each vote will be equal to $1 that can be used for trees. The
number of votes a state receives will determine the number of dollars it earns
to purchase and plant trees in state parks. Voting began May 25 and will
continue through Aug. 15 or until the $200,000 is allotted.
