So we've planted 27 million trees towards our 250 million goal.
Erika Jensen, I'm executive director of the Great Lakes Commission.
We are an interstate agency with the partnership of provinces in Ontario and Quebec who works to, sustainably manage and improve Great Lakes water resources.
The Great Lakes and Saint Lawrence governors and premiers have committed to planting 250 million trees across the Great Lakes region.
So this is our contribution for this meeting here in Duluth to help the governors and premiers achieve that goal.
We're actually celebrating the 70th anniversary of our agency.
The commission was established in 1955.
And it's a very exciting time to be here on the shores of Lake Superior.
So the trees not only have environmental benefits in terms of carbon storage, improving water quality, but they also create community benefits.
More trees equals, more positive health outcomes for the community.
Improves the recreational environment.
And, just helping to improve that quality of life for our residents.
