By Jonathon Barge, vice president at Carter
Recently, a group of Carter associates joined Trees Atlanta in its efforts to help protect and improve Atlanta’s urban forest by planting 18 trees along Central Park Place in Atlanta’s Old Fourth Ward.
Carter’s Green Team organized the volunteer day in which Carter associates dug holes and planted 17 black gum trees and one river cypress tree with the help and guidance of Trees Atlanta. This was Carter’s second volunteer day with Trees Atlanta this year and we are proud to have so many dedicated volunteers.
Trees Atlanta was founded in 1985 by Central Atlanta Progress, the Junior League of Atlanta and the Atlanta Parks Commissioner, with a mission of not only planting trees, but also educating and conserving.

Thank you Carter and all your awesome employees who have come out to volunteer with Trees Atlanta on numerous occasions! Partners in the community like Carter help make our city great and green!
