About Us. News

GMS was very excited to play a part in helping three area schools celebrate Arbor Day and encourage kids to take action in preserving the natural environment.  Students in five classes were given trees to take home and plant in commemoration of Arbor Day.  These new trees can be added to the millions of seedlings that have been planted since 1885 creating a unique forest planted by generations of American children.

Given the urgency of the global warming crisis GMS feels it is important to promote awareness in our community, and emphasis that every action taken, no matter how small, can add up to big changes.
