Enterprise Rent-A-Car celebrates its 50th Anniversary in February 2007.

As part of their 50th Anniversary celebration they have partnered with the National Arbor Day Foundation to plant 50 Million trees in our National Forests.

"Enterprise has formed a partnership with the Foundation to plant 50 million trees over the next 50 years – a gift, in total, of more than 50 million dollars."

"In an outstanding example of a public-private partnership, The National Arbor Day Foundation will work with the U.S. Forest Service to plant these trees – one million of them each year – in National Forests located in the United States, Canada, and Europe to restore areas damaged by fires, storms, and disease, as well as to help expand and preserve habitats for endangered species."

What Does Planting Trees do for the Environment?  "The 1 million trees planted this year by Enterprise Rent-A-Car, when they reach maturity, will absorb 15,000 tons of CO₂ and produce 10,000 tons of oxygen per year – enough to meet the needs of 45,000 people."
