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 investing in the communities where our people live and work, celebrating the power of collective action to drive meaningful environmental change, and building a lasting legacy for generations to come.

Throughout a season of change, one thing never wavered: Verizon’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 Verizon helps bring that mission to life. While we plant trees together, we also help hundreds of people plant hope, love, and lasting memories.

This impact is made possible because the Arbor Day Foundation and Verizon 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.
