Mission Statement
Excel Events aims to provide things for the community to do and help the environment. We plant trees to lessen storm water. We remove invasive plants and reforest with native Trees and Shrubs. We do clean ups in the community. We give people something to do, whether it be providing them a place to ride their ATVs or shoot their bow at a free Olympic Archery Range at their local park to inspire a competitive passion for something. We are a Keystone 10 million trees partner. If you have a place to plant 50 trees or more, they are willing to supply trees and deer protection for free and Excel Events can also help plant those trees.
