Celebrating a new partnership and Cummins’ commitment to reforestation

Cummins Inc. is proud to announce a new partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation, which will support the planting of 315,000 seedlings in the Mississippi River Valley Region and other local community planting opportunities in Cummins locations across North America.

The Arbor Day Foundation is a global nonprofit inspiring people to plant, nurture, and celebrate trees. This partnership will help biologically sequester more than 200,000 metric tons of CO2 over 40 years and provide more than 100M gallons of volumetric water benefits yearly. 

Reforestation provides numerous benefits to local communities including habitat creation, water quality and quantity improvements, climate change mitigation, air quality improvements, stormwater management, and erosion control.

To celebrate this work, Cummins employees recently volunteered with a local planting partner to plant 30 trees at Island Lake County Park in Shoreview, Minnesota (U.S.).

Making people’s lives better by powering a more prosperous world requires a healthier planet, vibrant communities and engaged citizens. Cummins will continue to advance our efforts to address climate change, use natural resources sustainably and ensure communities are better because we are there.
