Last year was a powerful reminder of what’s possible when two like-minded organizations come together around a shared vision. Our partnership goes far beyond transactional work; it is rooted in celebrating the power of collective action to drive meaningful environmental change and building a lasting legacy for generations to come.

One thing has never wavered: Publix’s commitment to our shared world and to the impact we can create together. Our mission is to inspire people to plant, nurture, and celebrate trees, and Publix helps bring that mission to life.

This impact is made possible because the Arbor Day Foundation and Publix came together with purpose and intention. Together, we are truly investing in a better world.

We are deeply grateful to be on this journey with you and excited for all that lies ahead. Here’s to 2026 and the continued impact we are creating together.
