Neways Supports Tree-Planting Effort

SPRINGVILLE, UT (July 17, 2009) – As part of the company’s Healthy Homes initiative, Neways recently provided support to an ambitious tree-planting effort in Diamond Fork Canyon, Utah.

More than 70 volunteers planted several hundred trees in the Diamond Fork Youth Forest at the Diamond Fork Group Campground. According to a Forest Service representative, “The campground is new and needed landscaping to stabilize soil, add habitat and vegetation, block the canyon road from campers, and make the campground look nice.”

Neways employee Donna Durand adopted the Youth Forest about four years ago, with Neways as a corporate sponsor. Since then, Neways has donated bottled water to volunteers working on the forest and has also provided volunteers.

“We are teaching children,” Donna said. “Twenty years from now, they will be able to come back and say, ‘I helped my dad plant this tree.’ Wherever they go, this will stay in their memories. They helped reforest the earth.”

The Neways Healthy Homes initiative includes four main goals:

Healthy bodies with safety-conscious Neways products
Healthy finances through the Neways business opportunity
Healthy communities through humanitarian efforts
Healthy planet through environmental responsibility
