Every Day is Earth Day
We are calling on those who aren’t afraid to pull on their boots, get their hands dirty, and dig in to green our world. Each and every day at Timberland, we strive to strengthen our communities worldwide through environmentally focused events that push toward a greener future. This spring alone, over 1,000 of our employees will shut down their computers and serve the Earth by planting trees, restoring our land, and creating public green spaces in 27 communities around the globe. Why? Because nature needs heroes. Take a look:
PLANTING ROOTS AROUND THE WORLD:
What if more trees were planted than cut down? We’re doing our best to make that a reality. Whether it’s reforesting a desert or planting trees in a city, we’re helping to improve air quality and provide shade (and even fruit!) for millions. To date, we’ve planted over 10 million trees worldwide, and we’re just getting started.

URBAN GREENING FOR WELLBEING:
Green spaces help improve wellbeing and strengthen communities. So why don’t our cities have more of them? We’re nurturing cities around the world with pockets of greenery through the creation and restoration of urban parks.

That’s a sampling of what we’ve been up to, now we’re calling on you. Not just on Earth Day, but every day, join one of our projects, or simply take your own small actions that could make a big difference. It all starts with pulling on your boots and stepping outside to make it better!
