Toyota Employees
Totota Employees Volunteer

In September, over 3,000 Toyota volunteers came out to 35 sites to participate in National Public Lands Day (NPLD). Where possible, TogetherGreen Volunteer Days sites collaborate with NPLD every September. At NYC's Barretto Point Park, 70 Toyota and Audubon employee volunteers spent the day cleaning shoreline, mulching, and building kestrel bird boxes. The New York City Park's coordinator said that the one day’s worth of work would have taken her over one month to complete!

The TogetherGreen Inside Scene is a newsletter from the National Audubon Society highlighting the achievements of the TogetherGreen initiative. Audubon and Toyota launched TogetherGreen in 2008 to build the promise of a greener, healthier future through innovation, leadership and volunteerism.
