On Saturday, September 26th, Serve the City Cologne played host to a special gathering. Thirty-five UPS employees arrived with their families, ready to roll up their sleeves and get their hands in the soil. By the end of the day, together they had potted 1,500 young trees, each one carefully prepared for the next chapter of its journey.
That journey will continue on October 18th, when Serve the City Cologne and UPS employees will come together again to plant the trees in the ground. There, they will take root as a living tribute in honour of UPS’s 50th anniversary in Germany.
But this was not the first time they had gathered for this purpose. It was STC Cologne’s second UPS tree potting event, and with each one the forest has grown a little closer to reality. Across multiple events, they have now potted 2,650 trees in total, and every one of them will become part of that forest.
We celebrate Serve the City Cologne and the volunteers at UPS!
At Serve the City, many people doing small things together can make a big difference!
