A HUGE thank you to everyone who helped make this collaboration possible.


Ed saved for van modifications so he could continue his impactful work with his own nonprofit!

Here is a thank you note from Ed:
 Thank you all so much for working with me over the last few years with my IDA program, it has been so helpful for me as I try to keep this tree planting/community organizing project moving forward.  Over the past few years, this project has worked with 600 elementary school kids and has planted over 5000 native trees, shrubs, grasses and wildflowers in three different natural areas in the Lents Neighborhood.  Community Vision has helped in many ways over the last couple years, and I am so glad to have been partnered with you.

Have something you want to save for?   A dream you wish to achieve?
