Earth Day 2022 at MA Center Chicago
To celebrate Earth Day, MA Center Chicago planted 25 swamp oak tree saplings along the road on ashram property.

A team helped prepare for the event by ordering the bare root trees, putting them into buckets of water prior to planting and collecting tools needed for planting such as shovels, work gloves, compost and mulch. .

On the way to planting trees

It was a beautiful, relatively warm, sunny day for April in Chicagoland. Many sevites came to help and the joy of serving was on everyone’s face.

Later, after Bhajans, Aratiand meditation in the Satsang Hall, the regional Embracing the Trees team introduced the Embracing the Trees Campaign, explainingthat it was formed to support and encourage devotees to plant trees on their own property, record the number of trees planted and then report back to the national team in the late fall. To help encourage and inspire tree planting, the ETT team presented a poster of a tree trunk with multi-colored leaves to the Satsang. This tree provides a visual of how many trees MA Center Chicago satsangmembers will plant in 2022. Each leaf will have the name of the people who planted themand the number of trees planted. We are hoping to have many leaves on the tree by fall.
