PLANET Announced A New Volunteer Initiative

The Professional Landcare Network (PLANET) has launched a Web site, planetdayofservice.org, to support its new program called PLANET Day of Service, which will take place on April 22, 2009.

The annual grassroots event is an opportunity for PLANET members, state associations, supplier members, and other PLANET partners to come together across the country for a day of giving back to their communities through volunteer landscape, lawn care, or tree care projects. ?EUR??,,????'?????<

Planetdayofservice.org is a one-stop shop for members organizing their Day of Service events. They can register their company and project there, as well as see, via an interactive map, the locations of the events as people register them. The Web site also contains project ideas and tips on planning and running events.
