US gets started on ‘trillion trees’ project

Altogether, the participants will plant, restore, and conserve more than 855 million trees in the United States by 2030. Their pledges form the basis of the U.S. chapter of the “1 Trillion Trees” initiative, or 1t.org, the first nationwide effort to make the goal a reality.
