Hosting tens of thousands of music and art lovers in Monterey for the last seven years, the California Roots Music & Arts Festival has grown to become one of the most popular fests in the state. Now, Cali Roots is giving back, partnering with the Redwood Forest Foundation to introduce 400 limited Redwood Passes for next year’s festival. Two redwoods will be planted for each Redwood Pass, resulting in a total of 800 new redwood trees.
“The Cali Roots movement is about developing and sustaining our community and that involves protecting our environment,” says festival co-founder Dan Sheehan in a statement released this month.
In addition to ongoing composting and recycling efforts the festival makes every year, the new program aims to help further reduce carbon emissions through the planting of these trees. California’s redwood forests are the biggest source of natural carbon removal in the state.
The Eighth Annual California Roots Festival will take place at the Monterey County Fair and Event Center, memorial day weekend 2017. Cali Roots will begin artist announcements for the 2017 festival in October.
