ICI Homes to Donate Trees to Elementary Schools in Volusia, Flagler and Jacksonville April 22 to Honor Earth Day

ICI Homes to Donate Trees to Elementary Schools in Volusia, Flagler and Jacksonville April 22 to Honor Earth Day

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Elementary schools in the Volusia-Flagler and Jacksonville areas will get a boost when ICI Homes and Land Care Management, Inc. donate trees on April 22 to honor Earth Day.


Rosemary Messina, vice president of sales and marketing at ICI Homes, said the home builder plans to deliver more than 15 young oak trees to 15 elementary schools in Volusia, Flagler and Jacksonville school districts that surround the homebuilder’s communities.


Messina said students will be invited to help plant the trees around the schools.


“We learned that due to budget cutbacks, schools have few dollars left to pay for trees on elementary school campuses,” Messina said. “Earth Day seems like a perfect time for us to help solve that problem and to just give more back to the communities where we build EFACTOR homes with high energy efficiency and environmental quality standards.”
