Cyber Thursday Message

OK, you're right. 
 
There is no such thing as "Cyber Thursday."
But we wanted an excuse to send you a coupon!
 
Amongst all the holiday buying craziness that seems to encourage us to overspend, over stress, and just purchase more and more "stuff," we wanted to share the friendly reminder that there ARE alternatives.
 
Dedicating a tree as a holiday gift is the perfect low cost, low stress, low stuff present.
 
Please consider supporting Trees for a Change when you do your shopping this year.  
 
When you support us, you'll thrill someone with a very special gift and at the same time you'll support the forest, the critters that live there, and those of us who benefit from trees. Which, um, is pretty much all of us.  
Kim-Elizabeth
Please consider giving Trees for a Change.  
Every single tree makes a difference.  
 
Thank you and happy holidays to you!

Trees Just Planted

971 trees for gifts ordered between July 1, 2013 -December 31, 2013 were just planted in January Blackwater River State Forest to restore areas devastated by hurricanes a few years ago.

 

Until further notice, trees ordered in 2014 will be planted in the same forest in January 2015. 

 

We feel good about helping to restore the area for black bears and woodpeckers with our very special trees.

Tree Updates and Photos

A few weeks ago we drove up through Yellowstone (right before the shut down-phew!) to Gallatin National Forest to visit our most recently planted trees.

We took photos of some of the 1604 Lodgepole pine, Douglas fir and Engelmann spruce trees planted this summer.
