Deptford, NJ (May 12, 2025) |
First Harvest Credit Union (“First Harvest”) employees recently volunteered their time at three Camden County tree planting events, hosted by the NJ Tree Foundation, to help plant over 80 new trees through the foundation’s Urban Airshed Reforestation program.
Over a dozen First Harvest team members took part in three volunteer events digging, planting, and mulching to help reduce noise pollution, improve air quality, and regulate temperatures, contributing to better public health. The recent events took place at Haddon Lake Park in Collingswood, as well as Liney Ditch Park and along the corner of Kaighn Avenue and 7th Street in Camden. Over 8,390 trees have been planted throughout Southern New Jersey under the NJ Tree Foundation's Urban Airshed Reforestation program.
