NEW YORK, April 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- TD Bank,
America's Most Convenient Bank®, today announced the
launch of "TD Forests: Rooted In NYC," a program that spotlights New Yorkers
who are improving their urban environment and their
communities.
At events throughout New York
City, "Rooted In NYC" will
give New Yorkers the opportunity to share stories about what a
greener NYC means to them. These
stories will be featured on TDForestsNYC.com and excerpted in an
upcoming multimedia presentation celebrating MillionTreesNYC, a TD
Bank-sponsored program run by NYC
Parks and New York Restoration Project (NYRP), which aspires to
plant one million trees across New York
City.
Filming on location across the five boroughs in the TD Mobile
Forest studio – a living forest on wheels complete with
native plantings – visitors will be invited to take photos and
share their stories, and will receive environmentally-themed
giveaways. The public is also encouraged to share videos through
their personal social media (#RootedInNYC).
"TD Bank is committed to supporting urban reforestation and the
creation of green spaces," said Chris
Giamo, Regional President, Metro New York. "Through Rooted
In NYC, we look forward to
celebrating the efforts of New Yorkers who share our commitment to
environmental protection and community improvement."
"Rooted In NYC" is part of the
TD Forests initiative, which preserves and supports urban green
spaces and critical forest habitats across North America.
