Yokohama to Plant 2,000 Trees at Virginia Facility

To date, Yokohama Forever Forest events have taken place in Japan, the Philippines and Taiwan, with 51,900 trees having been planted.

SALEM, Va. — Yokohama Tire Corp. and its employees, under the guidance of award-winning ecologist Dr. Akira Miyawaki, will hold a tree-planting event April 4 at its production facility in Salem, Va.

Yokohama is teaming with the local community to plant 2,000 new trees to help offset the facility’s carbon dioxide emissions.

The “Yokohama Forever Forest” project plans to plant a half million trees at its 18 plants worldwide prior to the company’s centennial celebration in 2017. This is the first such event at a Yokohama facility in the U.S., and more than 250 people, including elementary school students and volunteers, are expected to participate alongside Yokohama employees and executives, the company said.
