GALLERY: Planting Trees for Arbor Day

Associates at the Ross Group of companies rolled up their sleeves and planted more than a dozen evergreen trees for Arbor Day.

Many associates chose to dedicate trees in memory of loved ones. Thirteen memorial trees in total were planted. Seven additional evergreen saplings will grow roughly 40 feet high. Associates arranged the trees in rows and planted them in space west of the main associate lot at RIS in Grafton, OH.

Trees were ordered through the Arbor Day Foundation, which has a goal of planting 500 million trees by 2027. Research shows that trees slow climate change and support biodiversity.

The Arbor Day Foundation celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2022.
