New Michigan Tree Photos
This Summer we visited the 589 Jack Pine trees we
planted in Michigan in 2009. We were glad to see the 3 year old trees thriving, and growing strong to provide renewed habitat for the endangered Kirtland’s Warbler.
This small area in Huron-Manistee National Forest is one of only a few places on earth where the birds can make their nests, so our restoration project was a great help to these little critters.
Thank you for your continued support~ giving a Tree Gift really does make an impact on the entire forest ecosystem.

US Forest Service Tree Baby Nursery
We recently visited the U.S. National Forest
Service tree nursery in Placerville, CA.
This is where all our tree babies for this year’s planting in Shasta-Trinity are being raised with the utmost care.
Seeds are harvested from healthy trees just outside fire burned areas, so the babies are the same species as the burned trees, and will already be adapted to the perfect climate and elevation.

Now Planting in Shasta-Trinity National Forest
Shasta-Trinity National Forest is in Northern California.
In 2008 the Lime Complex Fire, Iron Complex Fire, and Lightning Complex Fire burned thousands of acres of trees, leaving large areas so devastated that the trees can’t regenerate themselves.
We’ll be planting native Ponderosa pine, Jeffrey pine, Incense cedar, and Douglas fir, in the late Spring or early Summer of 2011.
Please check back with us this summer, as we’ll have photos and maps up as soon as they are available.
