Look What We’ve Achieved Together!

We’ve reached the halfway point of the 10K Miles: 10K Trees Challenge and what incredible momentum this community has built. Together, we’ve already logged over 7,500 miles (and that’s only after 12 days of activity!), moving us well past the halfway mark toward our goal of funding the planting of 10,000 trees.

Your enthusiasm and participation have inspired us to extend the challenge to 12,500 miles and REACH GREEN will fund the additional trees that milestone represents. Every step, pedal, and stroke has helped us grow this movement and show what’s possible when people rally around a meaningful cause.

With our tree-planting commitment fully funded, we're focused now on what comes next: growing REACH GREEN’s year-round programming and creating more opportunities for action.

Your gift helps us build on this success and develop more initiatives that connect people, movement, and measurable impact.

We’ve already proven what’s possible when we move together. Now let’s make an even bigger difference, together.

Why This Challenge Matters
Every mile logged through the 10K Miles: 10K Trees Challenge represents something bigger, collective action for the planet. Together, we’re helping restore North Carolina’s endangered longleaf pine forests, now reduced to less than 6% of their original range. This restoration effort, led in partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation, supports local ecosystems and strengthens climate resilience in communities facing increasingly severe weather.

This is just the beginning. As REACH GREEN grows, we’ll expand into new projects with trusted partners across the country uniting people who care about protecting green spaces and turning everyday movement into measurable environmental impact.
