Shade, food, shelter, oxygen and they are just so pretty too! Think of just some of the wonderful things trees do for us! They provide shade from the summer’s sun, the buds and berries provide food for wildlife (and humans too but please don’t eat the trees!), shelter for wildlife, trees absorb carbon dioxide and through a process, release oxygen. And, of course, trees are so lovely to look upon! So during, and around, Earth Day Celebrations area Virginia State Parks will be planting trees with funding provided by Odwalla, Inc. 
T
rees that were chosen to plant are native to Virginia; they include Holly, Red Maples, Willow Oak and Redbuds.
Westmoreland State Park's new trees are planted in the beach parking lot along the waterfront. In years to come they will provide much needed shade for our customers while making the parking lot more aesthetically pleasing.
“The Odwalla Plant a Tree program is part of our commitment to respecting the earth and nourishing the body, mind and spirit,” said Chris Brandt, Odwalla vice president of marketing. “We know that outdoor activities are very important to Odwalla consumers. The Plant a Tree program allows us to support something we all believe in -- a healthy environment for generations to come.”
