Toyota has always seen itself as more than just a maker of great automobiles. This brand understands the positive impact it can have in the world, and it's proven its commitment to building a better community every year. That's not more evident than the brand's involvement in National Public Lands Day over the past 20 years.

Even from the beginning, Toyota was all in, joining projects in nine states with volunteers from all walks of life working together to restore public lands, parks, forests and beaches all over the country. In that first year, more than 1,500 Toyota team members, as well as their families and friends, came out to support projects cleaning the Potomac River in Washington, DC and planting greenery at the National Wildlife Refuge in Seal Beach, California. All in all, Toyota has contributed more than $9 million in donations, grants, and volunteer equivalent hours for National Public Lands Day over the past 20 years. Check out these numbers:

The Toyota team has come a long way in 20 years. With 50 sites across the country, Toyota team members are volunteering to clean up public spaces in their own communities and setting the bar pretty high for other global industry leaders. This represents just one part of the larger Toyota’s Environmental Challenge 2050, which proves this progressive mobility company is truly committed to leaving the world better than it found it.

The team at 3 Birds Auto is proud to be part of a brand that's working hard to make the future cleaner and more accessible. If you'd like more information about how you can join Toyota and 3 Birds Auto in taking care of your local public lands, contact us today.
