Meet Aquene Kimmel, Tree Planter and one of our amazing People for Trees volunteers!🌳 With a deep love for nature and a strong belief in the power of trees to uplift communities, Aquene jumped at the opportunity to get involved.

"Volunteering with HF&G’s People for Trees has been such a joy! I usually help out in the libraries, I don't usually get the chance to be directly involved in HF&G's environmental work, so I jumped at the opportunity" said Kimmel. "I've always loved being among trees; it just makes me feel immediately calmer and happier. Plus, they provide tons of benefits for our planet and our neighborhoods. Plus I love working with the other awesome volunteers in team VP4T!"

Feeling inspired? Join Aquene and other amazing volunteers in making a difference—one tree at a time. 🌱Learn more about People for Trees: https://holdenfg.org/make-an-impact/people-for-trees/
