BRANSON, Mo.  (April 4, 2024) – Earth Day is April 22, and Tanger Outlets Branson plans to celebrate with a community tree planting on Friday, April 19 at 10 a.m. Trees play a vital role in producing oxygen, improving air quality, reducing waste and pollution, conserving water, and supporting wildlife, among other benefits.

Tanger’s dedication to planting trees in the communities it serves represents just one step in the company’s environmental commitment and sustainability goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050.

In addition, Tanger Branson has proudly partnered with The Missouri Department of Conservation and Legacy Academy Preschool to assist in raising over sixty caterpillars into butterflies. The Legacy students will gain first-hand knowledge about the butterfly life cycle by observing it in real time over a period over 3-4 weeks. On Monday, April 22 at noon Legacy Academy will come to Tanger Branson on an educational field trip for a butterfly release. The students will enjoy a live demonstration from the Missouri Department of Conservation and learn the importance on how butterflies play a significant role in contributing to a healthy, balanced ecosystem.

Tanger shoppers can also make a difference by shopping sustainably with eco-friendly specialty stores including American Eagle and Yankee Candle.
