Saver of Time, Money, and Trees | Tree Survey & Assessment Pioneer | Development Enthusiast AND Tree Lover | Doing Better by Trees and People - Practically
Turn your Nouns into Verbs! Great wisdom shared by Trennis Jones at TreeFolks annual Root Ball gala that we were proud to sponsor last Thursday night. Thanks ANDREW CORTES, P.E. for the invitation to get engaged with such a great organization! I’ve never met Trennis, but those words sure did resonate with me! It’s a whole lot easier to talk the talk vs walk the walk. There’s all sorts of clichés in our culture about putting your money where your mouth is and being more than just words. How do we turn good ideas or heartfelt intentions into actual actions that will make it difference? This goes well beyond sponsoring a charity or serving for a nonprofit to plant some trees and educate folks about what we care about. It’s got applicability in our relationships, work, family, fitness, and community. Another great one he used was “if your philanthropy only benefits people you know, we’re not doing it right!” We’ve been pretty busy the last five years at Tree Mann Solutions building a business and team. While we have done some volunteering here and there, we are sure excited about the future and the foundation we have built to be able to make a larger impact at scale for good moving forward. We are here to create and deliver innovative solutions for people and their environment - that syncs up real well with Tree Folks I’d say! We are excited to give there and find other great nonprofits across the state doing good things with trees, planting, education and canopy equity. Which ones do you like? #trees #arborist #givingback
