PLANT-A-TREE (formerly PENNY PINES) |
How Can you Help Grow a Forest?
For many years, National Garden Clubs, Inc. and the USDA Forest Service have maintained a partnership sustaining our national forests through the Plant-A-Tree program. Plant-A-Tree, formerly known as Penny Pines is a reforestation and forest education program.
Your Garden Club can participate in a meaningful and practical conservation project. All contributions help the Forest Service to plant trees across the national forest system where reforestation is needed most - the places most impacted by wildfires, flooding, drought and other forest disturbances.
As many may already be familiar with this program when it was called Penny Pines, the new name "Plant-A-Tree" better reflects the program's mission and will help us reach a wider audience.
Plant-A-Tree is a National Garden Club program in which FFGC clubs participate. When donating you may choose to have your donation go to where it is most needed or you may select a National Forest. However, the Forest Service reserves the right to utilize the funds based on need. Individual plantings will not be identified per donor.
Certificates will no longer be printed and mailed in the effort to "Go Green". They will be sent digitally to the email supplied on the donation form.
Contributions may be a minimum of $50.00 to as large as $10,000.
