WEST BABYLON, N.Y., April 18, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Jiffy Junk, the nation's leading sustainable and environmentally friendly junk removal service, has committed to planting 5,000 trees in the year of 2023 with its newest partner, the Arbor Day Foundation, the company announced.
In central Georgia, reforestation efforts are critical to helping restore the state's forest canopy. For decades, much of Georgia's forestland has become fragmented, developed, and converted into other land uses. With a focus on restoring these vital ecosystems, this project will work alongside private landowners to support planting efforts that utilize a diverse blend of native tree species. These trees will serve as important habitat to threatened and keystone wildlife species throughout the region, including the red-cockaded woodpecker, indigo snake, and gopher tortoise.
"Fighting climate change is something we are committed to do in every sense of the word," said Jiffy Junk CEO and Managing Partner Adam Butler. "It's exactly why we started the company in the first place - to provide services that were also environmentally friendly and helpful instead of harmful to the health of the ecosystem and our communities."
In addition to improving Georgia wildlife habitat, this project will also help improve local air and water quality, increase climate resiliency within the region, and return the area back to its natural landscape. Thanks to over a million members, supporters, and partners like Jiffy Junk, the Arbor Day Foundation has worked to plant nearly 500 million trees in forests and communities of need around the world.
