It’s time to paint the city green, Baton Rouge.
At Green Up Red Stick, a fundraising event at the Main Library at Goodwood this Friday, you can support the efforts of Baton Rouge Green, a local nonprofit aimed at reinvigorating the Capitol City’s “urban canopy,” one tree at a time.
The organization was launched in 1987 by a group of concerned citizens who noticed that the greenery in Baton Rouge was slowly but surely diminishing. Over the course of the last few decades, it has tirelessly maintained trees along major roadways, planted trees with schools and helped to revitalize under-served communities through green space.
