Celebrating a Busy Earth Day

As the world celebrates Earth Day, communities worldwide are coming together to act towards a greener, more sustainable future. Last Saturday, volunteers gathered at Emery Recreation Center with one common goal in mind: to nurture the environment by planting trees. Brought to us by our Canopy Award sponsor Latham & Watkins, the event provided dedicated tree lovers with the opportunity to plant 38 trees at the park. The event was truly a testament to the power of collaboration between businesses and communities in driving positive change.

Latham & Watkins is a global law firm that embraces its responsibility to act as a good corporate citizen. The firm’s environmental sustainability efforts complement the work of its pro bono program, and go hand-in-hand with the firm’s dedication to strengthening diversity, equity, and inclusion in the legal industry. Partnering with Casey Trees on our Earth Day community tree planting underscores Latham’s commitment to making a positive difference in Washington, DC.

As we reflect on Earth Day and the importance of environmental stewardship, partnerships like the one between Casey Trees and Latham serve as a beacon of hope. By joining forces, we can create a brighter, more sustainable future for generations to come. Together, we can plant the seeds of change and nurture a healthier planet for all. Thank you again to Latham & Watkins for sponsoring the 2024 Canopy Awards!
