The TAZO Tree Corps, launched in 2021, aims to transform lives by training and employing people from communities of color and economically disadvantaged neighborhoods to plant and care for trees in cities. In this video, Azeezah Ford, the first person hired into the TAZO Tree Corps, tells of her experiences in joining the corps in Detroit. Now in five cities, the TAZO Tree Corps is a partnership between American Forests, TAZO Tea and The Davey Tree Expert Company that works to combat climate change and create new locally hired jobs for people who typically have been left out of the tree care industry. TAZO Tree Corps members work for Davey and in the first six months are provided TAZO-supported services, such as stipends for childcare and transportation, to assist in the transition to full-time employment.
