Multifaith Tree Planting Ceremony

 

On Friday, May 1, faith leaders, residents, and community partners will gather at the Craig Bridge Trail for a MultiFaith Tree Planting focused on environmental stewardship and community connection.

Organized in collaboration with Keep Toledo/Lucas County Beautiful, the City of Toledo, ReTree Toledo, MultiFaith Council of Northwest Ohio, and Sacred Grounds, this event reflects the shared values across faith traditions that call us to care for the Earth and one another.

The afternoon begins with brief remarks at 12:00 PM, followed by tree planting from 12:30–2:00 PM. Together, volunteers will help plant 10 new trees along the trail — contributing to cleaner air, expanded green space, and a healthier Toledo.

All supplies will be provided, and volunteers of all experience levels are welcome.

 

📍 Craig Bridge Trail (Parking at 1609 N. Summit St., Toledo)
🗓 Friday, May 1 | 12:00–2:00 PM

If you’re looking for a hands-on way to care for our shared environment while connecting across traditions, this is a meaningful way to take part.
