Georgia Tree Council

Happy International Picnic Day!!! 🍉🌳

What do all of the great picnicking spots below have in common? SHADE! Community trees create spaces for people to gather, including your favorite place for a picnic with family and friends. As you celebrate, we hope you have it made in the shade!

Tune in to 95.5 this Saturday morning at 6!

A show I've dreamt about since the beginning of Green and Growing, 6 years ago!

4 special guests join me this Saturday for 'Ashley's Big Old Tree Show'!! Trees are more important than you may realize, and they deserve a 3 hour discussion. And we'll be taking your calls regarding questions about trees too!

Thanks to Georgia Forestry Commission, Trees Atlanta, Georgia Tree Council, and Georgia Arborist Association, Inc. for helping me out this Saturday!

Calling all supporters of urban and community forests; if you haven't already, please take a moment to vote for the Georgia Tree Council before June 30th!

If you shop Target, or have friends, family, or co-workers who do, we want your votes! The Georgia Tree Council was chosen as a featured nonprofit partner in Target Circle™'s Community Giving Program. If you are a member of the Target Circle™ loyalty program, every time you shop, you earn votes to help direct where Target gives locally!

See the screenshots and description below for my voting experience, which took less than a minute. I voted on the app, but you can also vote online.

1. After opening the Target app, I scrolled down to "My store". The Georgia Tree Council is listed as a featured partner in stores in the southern half of the state, so I changed my store to Valdosta.

2. Next, I selected "My Target" at the right on the bottom menu.

3. Then I selected "Circle Benefits" at the top right of the screen...

4...and scrolled down to "Community Support Votes"

5. On the "Community Support Votes" page, I was able to see the featured nonprofits, including the Georgia Tree Council! Up top I could see how many votes I had available (the screenshot shows 0 - I realize now I should have taken it before I voted). I entered all of my available votes and selected the big red button to cast my votes!

Thanks for voting, we appreciate your support! If you want to support us even more, go tell the others!
