The Harley-Davidson community is doing the last thing anyone would expect: planting trees. In an effort to save our environment and keep roadways scenic, the company is working with the Nature Conservancy to plant 50 million trees by 2025.

Renew the Ride, which is part of the Nature Conservancy’s Plant a Billion Trees initiative, calls bikers to action and they’ve already made some amazing progress. The Harley-Davidson Foundation has donated $550,000 in annual grants and planted 1,000 trees in Virginia to celebrate this exciting venture.

The next step for Renew the Ride is planting 110,000 trees in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest over the next few months. With benefits like clean air, regulation of climate, and clean water, the importance of trees cannot be stressed enough.

The overall impact of the Nature Conservancy’s efforts is invaluable. They’ve restored 120 million acres of land in 35 countries, and they’re sure to get closer to their lofty goal with their dedicated and abundant group of supporters. It’s so cool to see people come together with passion for a cause and make a real difference.
