Turning leftover Trees into Lasting Impact - LISA S
During our recent tree donation event, we were fortunate to have several trees left over at the conclusion of the program. Rather than allowing them to go to waste, our Salesman Christian, took the initiative to contact ReWild Long Island, a volunteer-led nonprofit organization dedicated to restoring native habitats and supporting local ecosystems. Thanks to Christian, the remaining trees were donated to an organization that will ensure they continue to benefit the community and environment for years to come.
Rooting Our Community in Green: Hassett Subaru's +the Arbor Day Foundation Partnership - LISA S
At the Arbor Day Foundation, we believe that something bigger than all of us takes all of us. This bold hope transforms into action though trees planted, canopies grown and communities strengthened. Through Subaru's Love Promise commitment, Hassett Subaru partnered with the Arbor Day Foundation to enhance our community's front and backyards through the distribution of 100 trees to our customers. These trees contribute to cleaner air, provide wildlife habitat and improve the Wantagh community. Each planting through the Subaru Loves the Earth program represents our continued support of environmental stewardship. The trees at our retailer remind us of our responsibility to the earth and future generations. Each customer who picked up a tree became a part of this effort. A community that understands that caring for our environment means caring for our environment means caring for each other. Our commitment isn't just about driving change for a greener, healthier future for generations of Wantagh and New York residents.
