AUBURN — TD Bank selected the city of Auburn to participate in TD Tree Days, a community-based program that expands urban forests and green spaces in low- to moderate-income neighborhoods.
Staff and volunteers of Auburn Public Works will join local employees of TD Bank to plant 45 native trees on Seventh and Cook streets in New Auburn Wednesday, Oct. 10.
“We’re proud to partner with Auburn Public Works during TD Tree Days to improve the community and elevate the quality of the environment from the ground up,” said Joe Doolan, TD Bank’s Head of Environmental Affairs.
Now in its eighth year, TD Tree Days will bring together more than 1,000 community members and TD employees in September and October to plant approximately 850 trees and shrubs in 19 communities from Maine to Florida.
Founded in 2010, the program has planted more than 300,000 native trees and shrubs, primarily in Canada and the U.S., and is managed with support from The Arbor Day Foundation.
Auburn is one of 18 organizations in the United States that was chosen to participate in TD Tree Days through an application process.
“We are honored to partner with TD Bank on this meaningful initiative,” said public services director Dan Goyette. “These trees will be a beautiful addition to our city, but they offer more than just visual appeal; they also improve air quality and help conserve energy and water. This program is great for our community and we are so glad they chose Auburn.”
In addition to Auburn, TD Tree Days events are scheduled this fall in South Portland.
