Celebrating Earth Day 2015
April 22, 2015, marked the 45th anniversary of Earth Day. To celebrate this event and continue our support of the communities in which we live and work, TRC held its first company-wide Earth Day initiative. Each office was encouraged to participate in a local event to support environmental awareness and stewardship. The turnout was impressive, with 225 volunteers and 21 offices across the country participating.
A few highlights included:
> > The Cincinnati office participated in the Earth Day Tree Planting at Winton Woods, which supported the Great Parks of Hamilton County’ s Taking Root campaign. Fifteen employees, family members and friends participated on behalf of TRC and joined about 50 other volunteers to plant 900 trees in one day.
> > Three of the Massachusetts offices teamed up with the Lowell Parks & Conservation Trust to maintain the Concord River Greenway. The Greenway winds through downtown Lowell, Mass., and connects to the regional trail network, providing access for non-vehicular transportation and reducing storm water impacts to the Concord River.
> > The Ann Arbor, Michigan office assisted the Mich., DNR with a storm water study on Belle Isle, a 985 acre island park in the middle of the Detroit River, situated half way between Canada and Detroit. Collecting field data and mapping storm water flows provides information to the DNR to better determine the storm water drainage and flow patterns throughout the island and develop flood control and resiliency plans.
