138 trees planted to Keep Lee County beautiful

Comcast workers and other volunteers planted 138 trees in Cape Coral to mark Arbor Day.

Keep Lee County Beautiful, Inc. (KLCB) was honored to partner with Comcast, Keep America Beautiful and the City of Cape Coral for tree planting in celebration of Arbor Day. The event occurred in Joe Coviello Park, where volunteers from the Comcast Team UP program, local students and community members came together to plant 138 trees.

“Planting trees is one of the easiest and most sustainable ways to positively impact the environment,” said Keep Lee County Beautiful Executive Director Trish Fancher. “Trees play a crucial role in every community, and we are thankful for the collaboration with the city and their efforts to lead in tree canopy growth.”

“We are thrilled by the turnout to plant trees from our friends at Comcast. Planting trees means cooler streets, healthier air and better quality of life for people and nature in Cape Coral. Volunteers give so much and gain a deeper understanding of their neighbors, the needs of their community and the power of what’s possible when we all come together. Thank you!” said Jenny Lawson, President and CEO of Keep America Beautiful.
