The money will be used by the Missouri Department of Conservation and local volunteers to plant more than 500 trees in Joplin. The project will be coordinated with several other tree planting efforts for the city.
The tree planting idea came from a station staff member with close ties to Joplin. Breeze Richardson, Director of Strategic Partnerships, WBEZ and her family made repeated trips to Joplin to work as volunteers in the clean up. She contacted the Department of Conservation and the Foundation with her idea.
