“We’re incredibly proud to have planted over 22,000 trees and shrubs through the support of hundreds of volunteers since this program began,” Erin Cerenzia, manager of community relations, said in a news release. “Concern for the environment is central to who we are and what we do at Magna. We invite community members to join us on May 11 to help us continue building greener communities, together.”
