Planting trees with each new account opened!
At WMCU, we’ve always focused on doing what’s best for people in our communities, and helping them thrive financially. So, it made sense to help our environment thrive too. As part of our partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation, for every new WMCU account opened, we've been planting trees in a forest of great need in Michigan.
If you think about it, trees are kind of amazing. They are important to our environment and they enrich our lives in so many ways. They not only help reduce the effects of climate change by capturing excess carbon, but they also:
- Provide habitat for wildlife
- Support our health and well-being
- Clean our air and water-helping us breathe easier
- Beautify and cool our communities
- Help nurture biodiversity and endangered species thrive
- Provide a buffer against extreme weather
- Reduce the effects of deforestation

The Value of Trees
From backyards to tropical rain forests, trees around the world are hard at work providing the necessities of life. Trees clean our air and water, provide habitat for wildlife, connect communities, and support our health and well-being.
A Tree Can Be
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when considering the challenges we face. But we have to start somewhere. We know trees can help, and we need lots of them now.
Thanks for being a member of WMCU and helping us support our local communities, biodiversity, climate, and health.
The mission of the Arbor Day Foundation is to inspire people to plant, nurture, and celebrate trees. More information about the Arbor Day Foundation is available by mail at 211 N.12th St., Lincoln, NE 68508 or at www.arborday.org. Purchases from Corporate Partner will not be tax deductible.
*All trees are first come, first served. While supplies last.
