Skyline Champion Corporation (NYSE: SKY) (“Skyline Champion”), a leader in factory-built housing, today announced its partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation to plant one tree for every tree used in each of the homes Skyline Champion builds, beginning as a participant in the Time for Trees^TM initiative.

Through the Time for Trees^TM initiative Arbor Day seeks to plant 100 million trees by 2022 and inspire 5 million tree planters. As one of those inspired tree planters, Skyline Champion plans to plant at least 600,000 trees with Arbor Day by the end of 2022.

The initiative leverages tree planting as a simple, yet powerful way to address the urgency of preserving the necessities of life – clean air and water, healthy food, and a livable climate – which are becoming increasingly compromised. The initiative launched during a time when an estimated 18 million acres of forests are lost each year. Many of these forests are lost to fires in areas and communities that Skyline Champion operates and serves. Skyline Champion recognizes that if there was ever a time to plant trees, that time is now.

Mark Yost, President and CEO of Skyline Champion, said the Company is pleased to partner with the Arbor Day Foundation: “Forest products are the largest raw material used in the construction of a home, and working with the Arbor Day Foundation to replenish North American forests is one exciting step to balance out our use.”
