Plant-A-Tree
Since launching a partnership with the U.S. Forest Service in 2004, National Garden Clubs Inc. (NGC) and its various affiliates across the country have collected well over $100,000 on the local and state level for the U.S. Forest Service's well-known Plant-A-Tree program, which is dedicated to replanting damaged forested areas. These funds have benefitted 80 national forests in 42 states. This program was formerly known as Penny Pines.
NGC requests that donations be made from a minimum of $50 to as large as $10,000.
