Operation Appleseed

‘Operation Appleseed’

Operation Appleseed was inspired by a Nov 2019 lecture with scientist Dr. Bill Ripple and his research on trends in climate change, which moved Roger to do something about our climate crisis. That night he had an idea:

​

“We’ll call this campaign 'Operation Appleseed.' Instead of apple trees, we’ll plant evergreens and hardwoods. Instead of apples, they’ll bear something far sweeter than fruit – fresh, clean air and carbon storage, along with vital habitat for flora and fauna. We’ll be reforesting with a diverse array of native trees.”
