Burlington Telecom Supports Urban Tree Planting

Donates to Branch Out Burlington!
Burlington, VT (June 26, 2025) – Burlington Telecom (BT), a local leader in highspeed fiber broadband and community-focused service, is proud to announce its support for Branch Out Burlington! (BOB!) with a $2,500 donation. This contribution will aid BOB!’s mission to enhance Burlington’s urban forest and inspire environmental stewardship across generations and local communities.
“We’re honored to support Branch Out Burlington! in their efforts to create greener and more environmentally welcoming communities,” said Michael Callahan, Business Manager and Controller of Burlington Telecom. “Their longstanding commitment to community and sustainability aligns closely with BT’s values. Our customers care deeply about where they live, and this partnership is a way we can give back to the communities where we live and work.”
“We’re so pleased to welcome Burlington Telecom as a sponsor,” said Margaret Skinner, Board Member of Branch Out Burlington! “With their support, we can continue to expand the tree canopy and engage more people in this work. It’s more than trees — it’s about cultivating a culture of care and community resilience.”
This partnership reflects Burlington Telecom’s ongoing investment in local causes that matter to its customers. As a local provider, BT is committed to building strong connections — not only through broadband, but also through meaningful community action.

Branch Out Burlington! is a volunteer-driven organization dedicated to planting and caring for trees in and beyond Burlington, VT. With a focus on education and sustainable growth, BOB! has planted over 2,000 trees in city parks and streets through its community tree nursery — a collaborative effort launched 26 years ago with Burlington Parks, Recreation and Waterfront. Each spring, BOB! brings together residents of all ages for a joyful tree planting event that fosters civic pride and environmental responsibility.
