100 Trees in 100 Days Planting a Tree
in Carmel
Carmel, IN - As it celebrates its
100th anniversary of tree and shrub care expertise and
service, Bartlett Tree Experts’ office in Carmel is
embracing the community with a ceremonial tree planting at
116th Street on the East side of the Monon Trail. The event
is part of Bartlett’s international effort, 100 Trees in 100
Days, spanning four countries, to promote healthy trees and
communities.
Carmel has been the recipient of a Tree City USA Growth
Award for the past 13 years. This award is given to
communities that have demonstrated progress in community
forestry programs in the areas of partnerships,
engineering/forestry coordination, planning and management,
and standards and specifications. The prestigious Growth
Award recognizes environmental improvement and higher levels
of tree care in Tree City USA communities. The Tree City USA
program is sponsored by The National Arbor Day Foundation in
corporation with the National Association of State Foresters
and the USDA Forest Service.
“Carmel is honored to be a part of this world-wide
celebration of Bartlett Tree Experts’ anniversary. We are
proud to be counted among the cities participating in this
event that highlights the importance of trees in our
community. Carmel is committed to preserving an enhancing
its tree canopy and works closely with engineers and
developers to ensure that attention is paid to trees and
landscaping during road projects and neighborhood
development,” said Ron Carter, City Councilman at Large.
Bartlett Tree Experts, specialists in tree and shrub care,
is marking its centennial with this series of events at
sites across the United States, Canada, England, and
Ireland, involving each branch office, hundreds of employees
and thousands of community members. One hundred trees are to
be planted at locations around the world, making it the
largest integrated event in the company’s history. Locations
in cities large and small — ranging from metropolises such
as Dallas to locales like Fishersville, Va. — are involved
in the project, which promotes environmental sustainability
and responsibility.
“We are proud of the work we do in this community, and all
Bartlett communities. We believe we have a responsibility to
help preserve the communities and environments where we live
and work while providing the best care for our clients’
trees,” says Robert A. Bartlett Jr., chairman of Bartlett
Tree Experts. “For 100 years, we have been leaders in the
science and technology of tree care. This type of forward
thinking has guided us for the first century of our
existence, and continues to do so.”
