Potandon Produce Seeks $50,000 for the Arbor Day Challenge
IDAHO FALLS, ID – Potandon Produce is issuing a challenge to the produce and floral industries: Raise $50,000 by Arbor Day 2016 to support the planting of trees affected by the wildfires that have burned millions of acres across Idaho, Montana, Washington, California, and Oregon.
As one of the worst years on record for wildfire destruction, Potandon’s goal is to restore the barren land back into its natural state as quickly as possible. They need your help to make it happen.
Why, do you ask? Planting these trees will go a long way in helping the wildlife populations, limiting soil erosion, and generating oxygen.
Each dollar pledged will go towards the planting of one tree. Click on the button below to find a page where you can contribute to this worthwhile cause.
“Being an Idaho-based company, the staff at Potandon Produce LLC see the impact of these fires firsthand, with smoke filling our air and local news reports of properties being burned, businesses destroyed, and people displaced,” the company said in an email to industry members. “Everyone working in the Produce and Floral Industries understands the importance of a healthy eco-system and how critical it is to quickly recover from this type of devastation.”
Industry members, like Rex Lawrence, President of Joe Produce, have already taken the plunge in helping replace trees in burned out areas.
“What a great cause! It’s good for a planet and applicable local communities,” said Lawrence. “Joe Produce was happy to be a part of this goal of 50,000 trees.”
