DESCRIPTION
PLANT 5K Run & Walk is Louisville Grows annual fundraiser to support our mission to grow greener, healthier neighborhoods by planting 5,000 trees by 2025!
The race-organizing team is working towards producing zero-waste event.
Old shoes donations will be accepted on-site for recycling.
Composting, recycling, and waste containers will be provided.
T-shirts will be available as an add-on at registration. Given the significant environmental cost of making T-shirts (2,700 gallons of water to make a single cotton T-shirt, and 2kg of carbon), we have opted for alternative, more eco-friendly swag.
This event benefits Louisville Grows. Louisville Grows is an environmental, nonprofit organization whose mission is to Grow Greener, Healthier Neighborhoods. Our vision is to foster green, just and sustainable neighborhoods in Louisville. We seek to be a leading nonprofit in advocating for health equity through the environmental platforms of urban forestry and urban agriculture. Louisville Grows’ neighborhood-based urban forestry program focuses on rebuilding the urban tree canopy with a goal of planting 1000 trees each year.
