Expand Goshen’s Tree Canopy!
The Electric Brew celebrates its 25th anniversary by biking to raise money for Trees for Goshen
A local Goshen business, The Electric Brew, is celebrating its 25th anniversary fall 2021. To mark this occasion, The Electric Brew’s owners, Myron and Dana Bontrager are biking 2,900 miles of the East Coast Greenway Trail. They are raising $25,000 for Trees for Goshen over the course of their bike ride this fall to support the city of Goshen’s tree canopy goal.
Support the Canopy: Sponsor a Mile
The goal of $25,000 will purchase 1,000 trees to be planted in Goshen. Trees for Goshen provides and plants trees for private and public landowners each fall and spring at little to no cost.
Support Goshen’s urban forest and the Bontragers’ journey by sponsoring $25 for the 25th – enough to plant one tree!
