The Somerville International Film Festival has made a noteworthy advancement in its commitment to environmental stewardship by collaborating with Treeplan.org to plant 200 trees. This initiative underscores the organization's dedication to sustainability and fostering a greener future.

Rebuilding Forests, One Tree at a Time
Forests are essential to life on Earth. Trees capture carbon dioxide, produce oxygen, and provide shelter for countless species. Depending on the size and type, a single mature tree can generate enough oxygen for up to 18 people. Unfortunately, deforestation continues at an alarming rate, with humanity destroying 18 million acres of forest annually.
To counteract this loss, Somerville International Film Festival has chosen to take action. By planting 200 trees through Treeplan.org, they are contributing to reforestation efforts that help restore ecosystems, combat climate change, and promote biodiversity.
