For the daytime community greening events, corporate sponsor Timberland will partner with American Forests, the non-profit organization focused on planting trees for environmental restoration. Timberland and American Forests will enlist approximately 200-300 volunteers to help plant trees in each city with the aid of local partners. In Boston, EarthWorks volunteers will assist in this project.
Following the tree planting service Stone Gossard (Pearl Jam) will perform an exclusive ‘Dig It’ concert at the Wilbur in Boston tomorrow night with special guests that include The Hank Khoir and Vince Mira. "I am excited about the opportunity to not only share my new music with all the hardworking ‘Dig It’ volunteers, but to see first-hand what Timberland and American Forests can achieve in each of these cities," said Stone Gossard. "We are all going to roll-up our sleeves to make a difference, and a have a great time doing it."
