\u201cThe opportunity to plant trees in conjunction with one of the largest trade shows in North America will have an incredible impact on our reforestation efforts,\u201d said Dan Lambe, Chief Executive of the Arbor Day Foundation. \u201cWe know that trees are a key part of the solution to some of the biggest issues facing our planet, and partners like CONEXPO-CON\/AGG and IFPE can help us achieve the scale necessary to drive meaningful impact in the places that need it most.\u201d<\/p>\n
