Presenter highlights volunteers’ role in planting more than 90,000 trees and protecting homes

During a session captured in the transcript, the presenter described several tangible results from a volunteer climate program and emphasized that the project’s central achievement is the community built through that work. The presenter said, "Many of you in this room were responsible for planting over 90,000 trees."

The presenter listed other impacts, saying, "The tens of thousands of trees that have been planted, including in honor of, doctor Jane Goodall." They also said, "I'm so proud of all of the tons of food that have been diverted instead of ending up in a landfill and becoming greenhouse gas emissions," though the transcript did not specify an exact tonnage.

On wildfire resilience, the presenter said the program helped protect and save homes, stating "The number of homes that have been protected and saved, from wildfire," but did not give a numerical total in the remarks.

Beyond those metrics, the presenter said the program's lasting value is the relationships it produced. "I think what I'm honestly most proud of, and you can see it here today, is the community that we've built," they said, adding, "We don't solve climate change if we don't learn how to work together." The presenter recounted an event with the mayor of Stockton and noted close ties with individuals involved in the Climate Action Corps, saying, "right at my side was my man, Sharron, from Climate Action Corps."

The presenter closed by urging attendees to take the community focus forward: "The point is is that it's a family. This is so much more than a program. That's what I want you to walk away with."
