Trees are wonderful! Trees absorb carbon dioxide, exhale oxygen, provide habitat for species, shade people, animals and birds, including nesting grounds, and I'm happy to share America’s largest fundraiser for tree research, the STIHL Tour des Trees to benefit
the TREE Fund, will travel through the U.S. and Canada July 28 to August
3, 2013!
The weeklong event will include tree plantings, educational
programs and community engagement activities in addition to a week of
unforgettable cycling and camaraderie.
The STIHL Tour des Trees unites tree and cycling enthusiasts to
raise funds for tree research and education while cycling 500 miles,
educating the public about the needs of urban trees and planting dozens
more along the way. Cyclists will travel a 500-plus mile route originating
in Niagara Falls, circling Lake Ontario through upstate New York and
arriving in Toronto a week later. The cyclists will stop in Rochester,
Syracuse and Watertown in New York, then head westward through Ontario
via scenic Prince Edward County, Trenton and Oshawa to their final destination
at Toronto Island.
Each cyclist on the full Tour commits to raising $3,500 for the Tree
Research & Education Endowment Fund (TREE Fund).
