The FedExCup Playoffs Will Leave a Legacy of Trees in Three Host Cities
FedEx, in collaboration with One Tree Planted and the PGA TOUR, is launching a tree-planting initiative in the three cities hosting the FedExCup Playoffs: Memphis, Denver, and Atlanta. This environmental sustainability effort aims to improve air quality, reduce heat, and create healthier communities. In Memphis and Denver, the focus will be on increasing shade in public parks, while Atlanta will see fruit-producing trees planted in food desert neighborhoods.
April Britt, Director of Global Citizenship at FedEx, emphasized the company's commitment to contributing to a better tomorrow through urban forestry. The initiative extends beyond the FedExCup Playoffs, with FedEx planning to deliver 60 tree planting and conservation projects across six continents in the coming year. This effort aligns with FedEx's role as a founding member of One Tree Planted's Urban Forestry Fund and demonstrates the company's dedication to addressing environmental challenges in urban areas.

FedEx is committed to environmental sustainability and has been working with One Tree Planted to plant trees in areas that need them most. These trees will help to improve air quality, reduce heat, and create healthier, more livable communities.
"As a founding member of One Tree Planted's Urban Forestry Fund, FedEx is excited to contribute to a better tomorrow by planting trees in Memphis, Denver, and Atlanta," said April Britt, Director of Global Citizenship at FedEx.
The trees will be planted in parks, along roadways, and in school yards. In Memphis and Denver, the focus will be on increasing shade for pedestrians in public parks. In Atlanta, fruit-producing trees will be planted in neighborhoods with food deserts.
"It is inspiring to leave a legacy behind during the 2024 FedExCup Playoffs in all three markets by increasing tree canopy and reducing heat in urban areas," said Brazos Barber, Director of Sustainability at the PGA TOUR.
Beyond the FedExCup Playoffs, FedEx will also deliver 60 tree planting and conservation projects across six continents this next year.
