*Today is Earth Day and the start of National Volunteer Week in the United States. Symantec is celebrating by exploring our commitment to [environmental responsibility](https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/blogs/earth-day-series-celebrating-our-progress). Previous posts have explored Symantec's commitment to [LEED certification](https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/blogs/celebrating-our-20th-leed-certified-building), talked about our participation in [Earth Hour](https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/blogs/turning-lights-earth-hour), and explained our efforts to [minimize our waste stream](http://www.symantec.com/connect/blogs/minimizing-our-waste-streams-symantecs-first-global-waste-audit). Today we hear from Chris Abess, a Symantec VP in the Norton business segment who also serves as the global executive sponsor for the company's Green Teams.*

On April 13, 2013 a 40 person team of volunteers from Symantec’s Mountain View campus assembled at Quarry Lakes Regional Park in Fremont to restore wildlife habitat. With abundant sunshine and perfect temperatures, the Symantec team learned about the importance of their project from the Park District’s Wildlife Biologist. By planting over 20 trees and installing birdhouses, Symantec was part of improving conditions for “at risk” wildlife and sustaining an area critically important to the Pacific Flyway for migratory birds.
