Press Release

Your Town, Your State – Your Name, Your Company Name

is excited to announcethat we are participating in the “Adopt A Tree” holiday tree program. “Adopt A Tree” provides free Christmas trees to families in need through the generousdonations of local landscape contractors, wholesale nurseries and retail gardencenters. The idea was conceived by landscape design/build contractor, Jody Shilan of JodyShilan Designs, LLC located in Wyckoff NJ. He has had wonderful success with it inhis local community but has always wanted to expand Adopt A Tree to a largeraudience. Now as principle and editor of FromDesign2Build.com, a members onlywebsite for landscape contractors, he is using the power of the internet and “socialmedia” to ask his membership to take “Adopt A Tree” to the next level and promoteit throughout the US and maybe even abroad.“About 2 or 3 days before Christmas, around the 22

or 23

, most Christmas treevendors close up shop so that they can spend time at home with their families forthe holidays. Prior to closing for the season, they take the leftover or unsold trees,and put them into a wood chipper turning them into mulch. One day I thought tomyself, wouldn’t it be great if there was some way to bring these unwantedChristmas trees to families who would really appreciate them but could not affordone?” So “Adopt A Tree” was conceived. When asked about the name Shilanremarked, “When you really think about it the name “Adopt A Tree” makes perfectsense. The family receiving the tree is actually “adopting” it into their home andgiving it a place to stay for the holidays. It truly had nowhere to go.”We are very excited about this opportunity to be working with such a wonderfulcause and have the ability to “give back” to others during this time of need. Ouremployees and suppliers can’t wait to get started and are already volunteering tohelp.We look forward to doing this every year.
