The Green Bay Packers are extending their community support through their First Down for Trees program, entering its 16th year. The team donates nearly 400 trees to 16 different communities in Brown County, based on the number of first downs achieved the previous year. The ultimate objective of this initiative is to minimize air pollution and curb stormwater runoff.

Since the program's inception in 2011, a total of nearly 8,000 trees have been donated to the county. WFRV will keep this story updated as necessary.
