The **Arbor Day Foundation (ADF)** plans to **plant 10 million trees** in six states over the next four years following the **devastating 2024 hurricane season**.
The initiative is a response to the destruction caused by hurricanes **Beryl, Debby, Helene, and Milton**, which resulted in at least **375 fatalities** and estimated damages of **$500 billion**.
ADF is collaborating with **state and local governments**, corporate sponsors, and volunteers to make this **ambitious restoration effort** possible, particularly focusing on Florida and North Carolina.
This project aims to improve emotional and environmental recovery, addressing issues such as **extreme heat, biodiversity, and storm resilience** by restoring vital tree canopies.
A significant effort will be made to provide trees to **community spaces and food deserts**, enhancing the natural beauty and well-being of affected neighborhoods.
