August 11, 2020 - KnowBe4, a Clearwater-based cybersecurity training company, will facilitate the planting of 10,000 trees worldwide to celebrate the company's 10th anniversary and its 1,000th employee. “One Tree Planted,” a charity that helps global reforestation efforts, will be planting the trees as soon as possible, a news release said. The trees will be planted in Indonesia, Australia, Kenya and the United States, where there is a need for trees due on wildfires and other environmental threats.
