Did you know that the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 is driving a major investment in climate and energy initiatives across America? As part of this effort, the U.S. Forest Service has selected Trees Atlanta to lead a workforce development and tree planting program in metro Atlanta's CJEST communities. The Urban Forestry Career Pathways Workforce program, funded through the USFS Urban and Community Forestry Program, aims to provide training and job opportunities in urban forestry. This initiative will not only help grow the local green workforce but also enhance tree canopy coverage in underserved neighbourhoods.

On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas and announced that the enslaved people there were free - over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. Juneteenth honors African American freedom and achievements, while also serving as a reminder that we must continue the fight for racial justice and equity. It's a day to celebrate freedom and honor the resilience of Black communities. Today, let's reflect on how far we've come, strive to amplify Black voices, support Black-owned businesses, and strengthen bonds within our diverse communities. #juneteenth #freedom
