Rooted in Renewal: Celebrating Earth Month Through Action and Equity

April is a powerful month for reflection and renewal. It’s both Earth Month and Second Chance Month — a time to recognize the interconnectedness of people and the planet, and to recommit to building a world where both can thrive.

At GreenLift, these two observances are at the heart of who we are. We believe that creating a greener, more sustainable future goes hand-in-hand with creating pathways for individuals who are ready for a fresh start.

🌱 Giving Second Chances, Building a Greener Future

Everyone deserves the opportunity to grow. Yet many talented individuals face barriers to employment due to past circumstances — not because of a lack of potential, but a lack of opportunity.

That’s why GreenLift proudly supports second-chance employment, offering meaningful work and training in urban forestry and green infrastructure to those looking to rebuild their lives. We believe that when individuals are given the tools and support they need, they can not only transform their own futures but also contribute to the resilience of the communities and environments around them.

This month, we honor those who have overcome adversity — and we call on others to join us in creating inclusive, purpose-driven workspaces that nurture both human and environmental renewal.

🌿 Earth Month, Grounded in Community

This year, we’re proud to mark Earth Month by joining the 2025 Earth Day Festival hosted by Good Neighbors Group — and we’re honored to do so as a Premium Sponsor.

📍 Location: Earleigh Heights Volunteer Fire Company, 161 Ritchie Hwy, Severna Park

📅 Date: Saturday, April 20, 2025

🕘 Time: 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM

We’ll be there highlighting the impact of green jobs, showcasing our tree planting and community revitalization efforts, and connecting with neighbors who care deeply about sustainability, equity, and growth.

Stop by our booth to meet the team, hear stories from our workforce, and explore how you can get involved — whether by volunteering, partnering, or simply learning more about how environmental justice starts right in our own neighborhoods.

🌍 Where Planet & People Thrive Together

For us, sustainability isn’t just about planting trees — it’s about planting hope. It’s about lifting up those who’ve been overlooked, revitalizing underinvested spaces, and creating systems where everyone has a stake in a healthier, more equitable future.

By linking environmental restoration with second-chance employment, GreenLift is working to build communities that are greener, stronger, and more inclusive.
