Trees for a Change
- Since 2004, the U.S. has seen an extreme number of wildfires, leaving record numbers of acres devastated.
- The Forest Service has recently identified over one million acres of National Forest land that is in desperate need of reforestation.
- Our trees are planted and cared for by Forest Service tree experts who specialize in reforestation. They choose which National Forests can benefit the most from our program.
- Planting only tree species that are native to the surrounding area optimizes growing conditions and ensures that each tree has a healthy beginning. Two of the most common types of trees currently being planted are Douglas Fir and Lodgepole Pine.
- Your tree gift will grow to restore habitat and food for wildlife, provide clean air, prevent soil erosion and add beauty to our National Forests for many future generations.
- Trees are the earth’s longest-living organisms. The average tree in one year is able to absorb ten pounds of pollutants from the air and convert 330 pounds of carbon dioxide into oxygen.
- Trees for a Change Tree Gifts are a wonderful and generous way to celebrate or memorialize someone special. A tree planted right now will benefit all the inhabitants of our planet for years and years to come. One Tree Gift really can change the world!
