As a partner and supporter of the NFF, Planet Home Lending will fund the planting of 100,000 trees in National Forests across the Arapaho and Roosevelt, Francis Marion and Sumter, and Chippewa National Forests in Colorado, South Carolina, and Minnesota, respectively. The restoration project will include a wildfire recovery and a native habitat restoration for endangered species.
