Photo Story #EarthDay2022 🌎

After the global pandemic shut down so many opportunities for human connection, Trinity Property Consultants was thrilled to once again put on an incredible Earth Day Event. Employees spent April 21st, 2022, picking up trash, spending time in nature, eating good food, and connecting with one another face-to-face, a privilege in these trying times.

Employees of Trinity Property Consultants begin their two mile hike at Horse-tooth Reservoir to pick up trash for Earth Day and bond as a team on April 21st, 2022.

The team started at 9:00 A.M., thankful it was warm, sunny, and lacked the windstorms that had plagued the week prior. Even though it was a volunteer day, almost all employees showed up for the 1.6 mile hike.
