Rubin publishes guide for mobilizing volunteer groups in large-scale tree-planting and restoration work
Since 2004, Northwest Watershed Institute has been working closely with local schools to plant 5,000 trees annually in an event known as “The Plant-A-Thon.” Together, more than 1,000 people have planted 156,000 trees and have raised $200,000+ for local schools.
Now, with funding from the Keta Legacy Foundation, Switzer Fellow Judith Rubin ’95, ‘04 has authored a free, online guide for mobilizing volunteer groups in large-scale tree-planting and restoration work. The guide also offers tips for adapting the model locally.
