As he said"I'm proud to support two reforestation projects with my campaign. The first is in Idaho and it will plant fire-resistant species of trees, help restore the local watershed, and will ultimately allow visitors to appreciate and make use of this land for years to come. The second project covers multiple sites across Minnesota's Chippewa National Forest and these plantings will improve forest stand resilience to climate change, water quality, and create wildlife habitat. I grew up going camping with my Dad, and some of my best memories are in the forest. I want to be able to share that with my kids one day."
