More than 200 employees and family members
volunteer to plant trees at 15 locations in local communities
More than 200 Breezeline employees, family members and community
partners volunteered their time on Saturday morning to plant more
than 100 trees at 15 locations in eight states where Breezeline
provides internet, TV and phone services.
Inspired by the theme "Planting Roots in Our Communities,"
Breezeline employees planted trees today at multiple locations in
Connecticut, Florida, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Virginia. The tree planting
activities further the company’s commitment to the environment,
while helping to beautify local communities with all of the
benefits trees provide.
"We are committed to actions which have a positive environmental
impact," said Frank van der Post, President of Breezeline. "This
initiative, which would not have been possible without the
commitment and enthusiasm of our employees here in the U.S. and our
local community partners, is one step among many initiatives now
underway in our company to build up our communities, support local
businesses, and advance our environmental goals."
Breezeline partnered with the following organizations in the
tree planting initiative:
- One Tree Planted (for plantings at Oleta State Park in
North Miami)
- New London Trees (for plantings on Broad Street and
Williams Memorial Park in New London, CT)
- Groton Parks and Recreation (for plantings at Spicer
Park in Noank, and Poquonnock Plains Park and Groton Senior Center
in Groton, CT)
- The Parks and Forestry Division of the Department of Natural
Resources (for plantings at Flaherty Park and O’Rourke Park in
Quincy, MA)
- The Western Land Conservancy (for plantings at A.B. Hart
Elementary in Cleveland, OH)
- Columbus Recreation and Parks (for plantings at Smith
Road Park in Columbus, OH)
- St. Mary’s County Recreation and Parks (for plantings at
Lexington Manor Passive Park, St. Mary’s, MD)
- Middlesex County, Virginia (for plantings at Deltaville
Maritime Museum & Holly Point Nature Park)
- City of Johnstown Department of Public Works (for
plantings at Roxbury Park in Johnstown, PA)
- Aiken Parks, Recreation and Tourism (for plantings at
Virginia Acres Park, Aiken, SC).
Trees were sourced from local nurseries, with species selected
for adaptability with local climates, including Central Nursery and
Prides Corner (CT), Wentworth Greenhouses (Rollinsford, NH). A.
Thomas & Sons Nursery (Quincy, MA), Tupelo Farm & Garden
(Urbanna, VA), Meadow Farm Nurseries Garden Center (Leonardtown,
MD), Adams Nursery (Aiken, SC) and Seads Garden Center (Johnstown,
PA).
The employee volunteer activities took place both in the U.S.
where the company does business as Breezeline, and in Canada, where
its parent company and business units operate as Cogeco. The tree
planting events were part of the company’s "1Cogeco Community
Involvement Day," an annual day on which colleagues across the
entire company unite to support their local communities.
The company has set science-based emissions reduction targets to
limit the impacts of climate change. This commitment includes
emissions from direct operations through fleet electrification and
a commitment to reduce emissions from employee commuting. It also
includes investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency
projects across the company’s fiber-broadband network.
