Why Trees?
To us, trees mean more than landscape. Forests help sustain all life on Earth. They clean our water. Cleanse our air. Cool our planet. Trees give us refuge and refreshment, shade, and shelter. We hope that our campaign will help improve important watersheds that provide clean drinking water to millions of people, provide protection for thousands of species of native plants and animals, limit the impact of destructive hurricanes, clean polluted air, and increase our own mental and emotional health.
Yes, trees ARE powerful.
The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit.”
