Jordan Trotter Commercial Real Estate employees decided to brainstorm about ways to help the communityA generous giveaway is helping to restore the area’s tree canopy after Hurricane Helene.

It’s amazing what can happen when people put their heads together to do something for the greater good.

As the recovery process has dragged on since Hurricane Helene struck in September, Jordan Trotter Commercial Real Estate employees decided to brainstorm about ways to help the community bounce back from the devastation of the storm. They came up with the idea to give away two trees per family in an initiative called “Rooting for Augusta: Restoring Augusta’s Tree Canopy.”

“Our two partners, Troy Jordan and Dennis Trotter, really value the community and giving back to the community,” says Riley Morris, marketing associate. The company partnered with GoBuyPlants and Four Seasons Landscaping Inc. for the giveaway.

Initially planned as a two-hour event that was scheduled to start at 9 a.m. Saturday, January 11, all of the trees – 700 in total – were distributed in an hour and 15 minutes.

People started showing up for the drive-through event in front of the Family Y track on Wheeler Road at 7:15 a.m., Riley says, but they didn’t start giving out trees until 9 a.m. as scheduled.

They loaded trees into truck beds, back seats of cars or trunks.

“People came in everything from trailers to Honda Accords,” says Morris. “It didn’t matter what kind of vehicle they had. We made it work.”

The giveaway included native tree species such as magnolias, cedars, red and white oaks, sycamores and elms.

“Our employees went car-to-car and took everyone’s tree order,” says Morris. “The magnolia and cedar trees went really fast. The red oaks and white oaks went right after them. Even though two trees won’t replace the 20 trees that people might have lost, you have to start somewhere.”

The giveaway not only was designed to help restore Augusta’s tree canopy. The event also was a community-driven effort to replant, revitalize and regrow the landscape for future generations.

“Everyone lost a lot in the storm. Some people lost their homes or cars,” Morris says. “There was so much devastation, and everyone was looking for some glimmer of hope. We all want to see the CSRA restored to what it once was.”

The real estate company also is considering holding another tree giveaway in the future.

“I think it turned out better than we ever could have imagined,” says Morris. “We’ve had great feedback, but we would like to hear from the community to see if this is something they would like for us to do again.”

VOTED BEST REALTOR IN THE CSRA

Ohio Players by The Black Keys

Listen To This

The Black Keys are back, and they’ve brought more swagger than a vintage leather jacket at a Midwest thrift store.

With Ohio Players, their latest release, Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney remind us why they’re the kings of gritty blues-rock while tossing in enough surprises to keep things interesting.

Think of this album as a musical casserole: hearty, comforting and with a few unexpected ingredients to spice things up. It’s the kind of record that sounds like it’s been playing on a jukebox in a roadside diner for decades, waiting for you to stumble upon it.

From the first note of “This Is Nowhere,” the album’s opening track, you’re dropped straight into the smoky dive bars and backroads of Ohio.

Auerbach’s guitar snarls like a junkyard dog, while Carney’s drumming stomps through the track like it’s wearing steel-toed boots. It’s the kind of song that makes you want to roll down your windows and drive nowhere in particular, preferably on a road with lots of potholes for added authenticity.

Tracks like “Don’t Let Me Go” and “Beautiful People” mix their signature grit with gospel-tinged backing vocals and a vibe that’s equal parts Sunday morning redemption and Saturday night chaos.

Ohio Players is a record for the dreamers, the drifters and anyone who’s ever found solace in a dusty vinyl or a crackling radio signal from the middle of nowhere.

The Keys have delivered a collection that’s equal parts nostalgia and innovation — a love letter to the music that shaped them. It’s proof they’re still capable of bringing the heat —which we could all use right now.

House Love by Patric RichardsonDiscover the joy (yes, joy) of cleaning with this cheery guide to tidying up and turning your house into a home.

Patric Richardson is known as “The Laundry Evangelist,” but his love for household chores extends far beyond the laundry room. His newest book, House Love, is his sunny guide to freshening up every inch of the house — from the entryway to the attic, the backyard to the bedroom.

His book also grants you permission to shake things up. Keep bath salts in a cookie jar? Sure. Display a surprising mishmash of pillows? You bet. Discover your personal design style? He helps you do that, too.

Plus, the cleaning genius shares lots of expert advice like which three cleaning tools are worth splurging on and how you can create a powerful and antibacterial cleaning spray with lemon and thyme.

Complete with playlists, recipes and step-by-step instructions for cleaning every type of room, House Love brightens up life’s most common chores. You’ll learn new ways to transform your home with Patric’s stories and humor guiding you every step of the way.
