Big news for ReLeaf! 🌳

Introducing our first-ever Canopy Level Sponsor, The Plastek Group. We are thrilled to welcome Plastek as a leading supporter of ReLeaf and our mission to make Erie greener, one tree at a time.

Thanks to Plastek’s generous sponsorship, this weekend’s Arbor Day Tree Giveaway was able to provide trees on a give-what-you-can basis, helping remove financial barriers to planting and making it possible for more people to bring trees into their neighborhoods. Their partnership played a major role in the success of this year’s giveaway, and we are so grateful for their amazing team of tree lovers.

Thank you, Plastek, for helping grow a greener future for Erie. 🌱
