The Arbor Day Foundation's Impact Fund was developed to invest in leaders and startups working to grow what's possible with trees. We are thrilled to share that ADF has partnered with Funga, to explore what is possible with soil biodiversity restoration! "I used to plant Arbor Day Foundation seedlings in grade school. Many people's first tree planting experience is tied to Arbor Day Foundation's work. This investment is personally meaningful, and signals a broader realization within the reforestation community that belowground fungi are an essential component of not just planting trees, but revitalizing entire forested ecosystems," -Colin Averill, Founder/CEO of Funga https://lnkd.in/gMP5UBnR #arborday #arbordayfoundation #biodiversity #restoration #forests
