LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) — A volunteer organization planted more than 30 trees at Tierra park in an effort to combat climate change and make the park more scenic.

ASEZ WAO, a nonprofit organization, dedicated to reducing climate change was out South 27th and Nebraska Parkway this week.

With a little help from the Lincoln Parks and Rec Department, they planted over 30 trees along the park trail.

“By planting these trees, it’s going to beautify the park,” said Richard Wheeler, volunteer with ASEZ WAO. “It’s going to provide shade, but also it will absorb all the greenhouse gases. Therefore, we’ll have a better Earth, combating the climate change and we could all live happily.”

The international organization’s goal is to plant one tree per 8 billion people on the planet in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas in the atmosphere.
