Subaru and Arbor Day Foundation Partner To Launch Largest Corporate Tree Distribution Program
Subaru of America and the Arbor Day Foundation have announced a groundbreaking partnership during Climate Week NYC, marking the largest single corporate investment in community tree distribution in the Foundation's history. This initiative, part of Subaru's Subaru Loves the Earth program, aims to distribute hundreds of thousands of mature and native trees across local communities nationwide, leveraging Subaru's extensive retailer network.
The partnership addresses the critical issue of urban tree loss, with American cities losing 36 million trees annually. Starting in spring 2025, the collaboration will fund hundreds of projects each year, with the Arbor Day Foundation selecting native tree species suitable for each region's climate. To kick off the partnership, Subaru and the Foundation will distribute 200 trees in Camden, NJ, Subaru's hometown, and participate in a local cleanup event.

Subaru of America와 Arbor Day Foundation은 Climate Week NYC 기간 동안 혁신적인 파트너십을 발표했습니다. 이는 재단 역사상 커뮤니티 나무 배포에 대한 단일 기업의 가장 큰 투자를 기록한 것입니다. 이 이니셔티브는 Subaru의 Subaru Loves the Earth 프로그램의 일환으로, Subaru의 광범위한 소매업체 네트워크를 활용하여 전국의 지역 사회에 수십만 그루의 성숙한 자생 나무를 배포하는 것을 목표로 합니다.
이 파트너십은 도시의 나무 손실이라는 심각한 문제를 해결합니다. 미국 도시들은 매년 3,600만 그루의 나무를 잃고 있습니다. 2025년 봄부터 이 협력은 매년 수백 개의 프로젝트에 자금을 지원할 예정이며, Arbor Day Foundation은 각 지역 기후에 적합한 자생 나무 종을 선택합니다. 파트너십을 시작하기 위해 Subaru와 재단은 Subaru의 고향인 NJ주 Camden에서 200그루의 나무를 배포하고 지역 정화 활동에 참여할 예정입니다.

Signature partnership to support planting hundreds of thousands of community trees as part of Subaru Loves the Earth® initiative
CAMDEN, NJ / ACCESSWIRE / September 25, 2024 / Subaru of America, Inc. and the Arbor Day Foundation are teaming up for the largest single corporate investment in community tree distribution in the non-profit's history. The partnership, announced during Climate Week NYC, is aligned with the automotive company's long-standing Subaru Loves the Earth® initiative, and will result in hundreds of thousands of mature and native trees being distributed in local communities nationwide thanks to Subaru's strong network of retailers.
American cities lose 36 million trees every year due to disease, age, and extreme weather. This loss threatens not only the beauty of our communities but also the environmental and health benefits trees provide. A single mature tree can remove CO2 from the atmosphere, provide oxygen, and cool urban areas by up to 10 degrees, reducing the impact of heat waves and air pollution.
Alan Bethke, Senior Vice President, Marketing at Subaru of America, Inc.: "Subaru's commitment to the environment is well-established, and partnering with the Arbor Day Foundation is a natural extension of what we have learned through our previous and ongoing initiatives. We are making an intentional effort to bring our love of nature back to communities on a large scale that will have a significant impact. Whether it is through waste reduction, conserving resources, or preserving and enhancing natural spaces, we are in constant pursuit of opportunities that will help our planet because we know it is the right thing to do."
The scope of the partnership is unmatched and will help expand the Arbor Day Foundation's work in communities beginning in spring 2025 and growing over consecutive years. As the Foundation's largest partner of community tree projects, Subaru will fund hundreds of projects each year, with the Arbor Day Foundation using their expertise to select the native tree species for each region of the country to ensure they are suitable for the local climate.
Dan Lambe, Chief Executive of the Arbor Day Foundation: "From extreme heat to air pollution, our nation is feeling the stress of climate change, but thankfully, science shows that trees can help relieve the pressure. With this commitment, Subaru is stepping up to help unlock the positive power of trees across the country. Their bold leadership will empower the Arbor Day Foundation to infuse communities with the resources needed to scale up urban forestry in a period of great urgency."
To celebrate the partnership, Subaru and Arbor Day Foundation will be giving away 200 mature and native trees to community members in the automaker's hometown of Camden, NJ, and volunteering during one of the city's final "Camden Strong" neighborhood cleanup events for the 2024 season. This hometown volunteer effort will have an immediate positive environmental impact, helping to rebuild tree canopies, raise air quality, conserve water, reduce flooding, and improve community well-being.
