Here are some of our most memorable Community Events!

In 2025, volunteers with the CAC completed phase two of the Attwood Park pocket forest project, planting 28 trees (provided by Lansing Parks and Recreation Department) under the leadership of Forestry Supervisor Irene Cahill and in cooperation with People's Church Earth Stewardship Committee, Lansing's Forestry Service, and the city's Operations and Maintenance Department. Volunteers also performed major upkeep on the 20 trees (all are doing well) planted earlier this year during phase one of the pocket forest, located in the south Lansing 25-acre park. Over the past two years, the Michigan IPL-sponsored event in Lansing has seen the area's canopy grow by over 200 total trees within two city parks.

In 2022, the Capital Area Chapter (CAC) raised funds for a solar installation at the South Side Community Coalition. The array was installed in the spring and celebrated on Earth Day!

In 2023, the group raised money to fund the installation of a solar array for an all-electric home in a new affordable housing development not far from the South Side Community Coalition.
