MADISON, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — 100 million trees planted by 2030.
That’s the ambitious goal announced on Earth Day by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and Governor Tony Evers.
“The stuff that the trees do is right on right on target, they take heart carbon dioxide in and release oxygen to the air and sequester the carbon into the ground,” said Evers. “So they are doing their part.”
According to the Wisconsin Trillion Trees Pledge 2023 Annual Report, more than 9.8 million trees were planted and more than 3,000 acres of forestland were conserved.
