Did you know trees love donuts? 🍩

On , we’re here to tell you when it comes to mulching, there are Dos and Do-nuts, sorry Don’ts!

DO: Keep mulch away from the bark. Layer mulch 3-4 inches deep but keep a loose donut space around the trunk of the tree. 🍩✅

DON’T: When applied properly, mulch can benefit your tree. However- don’t over do it! Avoid volcano mulching! Volcano mulching is when mulch gets piled high against the trunk of the tree. This may result in decay, rodent and insect damage and even death to the tree. 🌋🚫

Big news!

🎉 BIG NEWS: Our 2026 National Litter Study is here!

After months of research, we’re thrilled to release the most comprehensive data on litter in America—and the findings are incredibly encouraging.

Litter across U.S. roadways and waterways is down 34% since 2020. Every American’s share dropped from 152 pieces to 96. This is proof that when communities work together, real change happens.

But our work is far from done—35 billion pieces of litter remain. The study shows us exactly where we need to focus next, and with America’s 250th birthday approaching, there has never been a better time to finish what we started.

📊 Dive into the data and discover what’s working across the country.
