As New York prepares to mark 25 years since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, a new initiative will honor the lives lost by planting trees across the country.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, Sept. 9, One Tree Planted and the 9\/11 Day National Commemoration Committee will plant a 15-foot tree at the Battery\u2019s Labyrinth for Contemplation in Lower Manhattan. Families of some 9\/11 victims are expected to attend.<\/p>\n
The planting will launch \u201cTogether We Grow,\u201d an initiative that aims to plant 3,000 trees across the U.S. over the next year in honor of those who died in the attacks.<\/p>\n
Hank Lynch, president and CEO of One Tree Planted, joined \u201cWeekends On 1\u201d to discuss the initiative.<\/p>\n
