Take an Earth Day Walk in the Park

April 19, 2013

At TreePeople we like to think of every day as Earth Day.  But that doesn’t mean we don’t love to celebrate April 22 as a great time to do something wonderful for the earth.

Still, maybe planting 100 trees or installing a rain garden at your local school is more than you can work into your schedule by this Monday. If that’s the case, we have the perfect solution—simply go outside!

Increasingly, studies show that although we are more disconnected from nature—to the point where it can be considered a disorder—even if we just take a short stroll in the park, the effects are amazing .

Staying connected with the natural world is something to do 365 days of the week. Not only will you feel better and be more productive, you may just find the energy you need to take on those 100 trees without to wait until Earth Day 2014 to do it.

Join us for our next Branching Out Community Tree Walk, in Studio City this Sunday, April 21:
