Day of Service: Greenville (with Trees Upstate)
Join the Capstone Service Team as we travel to Greenville, SC for our Spring Day of Service. We will hit the road to support TreesUpstate, a group who's mission is to plant, promote, and protect trees in the Upstate. TreesUpstate has planted and given away over 45,000 trees - which is significant because one mature canopy tree can remove the equivalent of about 11,000 miles of car emissions, each year. At maturity the trees that TreesUpstate has already planted and given away can remove the equivalent of more than 503 million miles of car emissions. We will spend the morning with TreesUpstate, planting new trees in the Greenville community and we will have time in the afternoon to explore Greenville. Transportation, Breakfast, Lunch and snacks will be provided, as well as a special Capstone Scholars Day of Service: Greenville T-Shirt.
Admission Cost: Free.
