David Cohen, principal of Hampden Design + Construction, a Newton-based residential contracting firm, is pleased to announce its partnership with One Tree Planted, a non-profit organization focusing on global reforestation.
This philanthropic effort is in line with Hampden’s commitment to protecting the environment and promoting sustainability with best building practices. The company pledges to plant a minimum of 1200 trees in North America forests each year.
“Our goal is to give back to the earth what we take from it when we build and renovate homes,” states Mr. Cohen. “In addition to supporting the reforestation effort, our goal is to help spread the word about this worthwhile organization and inspire others to help do something positive for our environment.”
As an environmental charity, One Tree Planted is dedicated to creating a healthier climate, protect biodiversity, and help reforestation efforts around the world. Launched in 2014, One Tree Planted has more than doubled the number of trees planted year over year. Today, the organization works with forward-thinking reforestation partners in North America, South America, Asia, and Africa who work tirelessly to restore forests after fires and floods, create jobs, build communities, and protect habitat for biodiversity.
