The Odwalla Plant a Tree program allows people to donate trees, free of charge, to local State Park systems HALF MOON BAY, Calif.--(Business Wire)-- Helping the environment just got a little easier. You don`t have to get down and dirty this summer to help plant trees in state parks. With the ease of a mouse click, the Plant a Tree program allows you to choose one of 11 state park systems where you would like Odwalla to plant a tree. Visitors to www.parkvisitor.com/odwalla can make a donation by choosing their preferred state. No contribution or registration is required. Odwalla is donating $100,000 worth of trees to be planted in state parks in California, New York, Florida, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Utah, Ohio, Texas, Maryland, Michigan and Virginia. The trees will be used to support important reforestation and planting initiatives across the country. "The Odwalla Plant a Tree program is part of our commitment to respecting the earth and nourishing the body, mind and spirit," said Chris Brandt, Odwalla vice president of marketing. "We know that outdoor activities are very important to Odwalla consumers. The Plant a Tree program allows us to support something we all believe in -- a healthy environment for generations to come." The Odwalla Plant a Tree program runs from May 27, 2009 through December 31, 2009. The species of trees donated will vary by region and will be planted in fall 2009 and early 2010. "The Odwalla Plant a Tree program is very important to our state parks across the country," said Ruth Coleman, director of California State Parks. "So many people want to do things to help our environment and Odwalla is making it really easy to have a positive impact."
