You Pledge. We Plant.

This Earth Month, we are asking you to pledge to always use a reusable shopping bag. Macerich shopping centers have partnered with One Tree Planted this April to fund reforestation and urban shade projects across the United States for every pledge made. We can do this together! Text “IPLEDGEYOUPLANT” to 540.252.5100 to support, or message us via the chat link below.*
