The CMBA introduced the “Homes of Our Own” program to area schools in celebration of National Arbor Day.

The Homes of Our Own program teaches second graders how trees are used to provide shelter for animals and people, and that trees are a renewable resource. Builders explain to them how trees are used to build homes and what is done to save trees during the construction process. If the school permits, the kids help plant a tree and learn how to care for trees.

Members of the CMBA sponsor the Homes of Our Own Project.
