On Earth Day and in recognition of National Park Week, Secretary Bernhardt joined the President and First Lady at the White House for the planting of an October Glory Maple Tree to honor our country’s commitment to conservation and to highlight the Administration’s commitment to the One Trillion Trees Initiative.
