PLANET Day of Service 2010 Recap

Good morning!

The Professional Landcare Network (PLANET) introduced a great program in 2009 celebrating Earth Day called PLANET Day of Service. Volunteerism and service to our community is an important part of why Quercus is successful and a huge part of our philosophy.

This year PLANET Day of Service completed over 200 projects with 3,000 volunteers throughout the US. Three of those projects were in Minnesota with Landscape Renovations completing a project at Central Park in Woodbury, we planted shrubs, trimmed trees and cleaned beds at the Scott County Historical Museum and Wild Ways to Garden cleaned up the shoreline of Lake John in Annandale, MN.

Our project went great this year. Our employees volunteered their time and we made a big difference in the gardens around the Stans House at the Scott County Historical Museum. Here is a video with some photos from our day. You can also see more photos on our Flickr page.

I hope everyone had a great Earth Day and keep it in mind every day of the year. I will soon be posting about what Quercus does on an ongoing basis for a better world.

Have a wonderful day!

Earth Day & PLANET Day of Service

Good morning!

The Professional Landcare Network (PLANET) began a wonderful program last year called PLANET Day of Service. Landcare companies from all over the country perform service projects in their local communities on Earth Day.

Last year we planted a bed around a new park sign at Tahpah Neighborhood Park in Shakopee and now maintain the area. Here is a little video of what we did.

This year we are installing plant material and cleaning up the gardens around the Historic Stans House at the Scott County Historical Society here in Shakopee. We are very excited to work with Kathy Klehr, the Director, and help make the world a better place for Earth Day.

I’ll post pictures on here and you can follow us on Twitter as @quercusinc or follow all the PLANET Day of Service projects at #2010PDOS on Twitter.

Have a wonderful day!
