UPS Makes Parks A Priority - CBS Miami
United Parcel Service (UPS) is a well-known global logistics and distribution company. Its Americas Region office is located here in Miami, and in October 2014 the company began its partnership with the Parks Foundation of Miami-Dade. Initially, UPS reached out to the Foundation for an employee-driven tree-planting volunteer project at Highland Oaks Park in northeast Miami-Dade. This volunteer project would help contribute to UPS’ Global Forestry initiative, which had the goal of planting 15 million trees by 2020. It would also help with Parks’ Million Trees Miami initiative, whose goal was planting one million trees in Miami-Dade County by 2020. The Parks Foundation of Miami-Dade received a $20,000 grant from The UPS Foundation, which supplied the trees for the first employee tree-planting project that brought out more than 50 UPS Americas employees.
