Subject: Green Habitat’s Urban Tree-Planting Project

From: paullb@telus.net

Dear Kristen Holliday,

I’m reaching out to share an exciting story about Green Habitat’s successful urban tree-planting project that transformed the Kamloops area in 2024. Over the past year, we have planted 650 trees and raised awareness of environmental sustainability through our program. As a result, more than six new areas in Kamloops will be selected for new tree planting. I believe this story would be perfect for your publication in Castanet News.

Here’s some additional information about the story. Over 1,800 trees have been planted by Green Habitat in the past three years, making a significant impact on the ecosystem in Kamloops, Vernon, Shuswap, and Kelowna. Properly planted trees can lower air conditioning costs by 30% and heating expenses by 50%. If you’re interested in covering this story, I can send the full press release. Additionally, I can arrange a site visit for a tour of our facility; please let me know what time works best for you.

Would this be something you’d be interested in covering? Let me know if you have any questions. You can reach me by phone at 250-374-1474. Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Paul Butland
