Last week EVOL celebrated a very special holiday very near and dear to our hearts. I am talking about Mom (and it’s not Mother’s Day). It’s the holiday where we celebrate the Mom that gives us air to breathe, the shade of trees and the beautiful scenery that we get to see everyday from our offices. That’s right, we celebrated Mother Earth last Friday as our corporate office got together to plant trees and shrubberies in celebration of Earth Day!
EVOL Earth Day Volunteer Project
We gathered our team for a quick picnic in the park down the street from our offices and then geared up to go to Walden Ponds, a recreation area where seniors can cast a line and enjoy the beautiful scenery in Boulder. We worked with the Boulder County Parks and Open Space department to help create new habitats for songbirds, waterfowl and small mammals as well as help beautify the area and provide shade for the fish and fishermen alike. I mean if a few trees can do all of that, then why not help out?
We evol Mother Earth
When we arrived, the team at Boulder County Parks and Open Space thought there was just too much to do, in too little time. They quickly learned the work ethic of an EVOL employee, and our team was able plant over 88 trees and shrubs of at least 5 different species. It was no easy task, and we had to get dirty, very very dirty- but, we finished the project ahead of schedule and gained the satisfaction of contributing to our community and our planet.
Our CEO Tom pitching in
I walked away with dirt in almost every crevice of my body, a nice scrape from a tumble down the hill and a sunburned neck, but I have to say, I was extremely proud of my fellow EVOL employees and to be a part of a team that values community service and doing good for our environment. And even if I had to get a manicure this weekend to get all the dirt out of my fingernails, I am glad that I was able to give a little back to my Mother Earth who gives so much to me.
