Frequently Asked Questions
Where are the trees planted? Can I choose the location?
We partner with the U.S. Forest Service to plant trees in National Forests that need them most. Our mission at Trees for a Change is to offer earth friendly gifts that help restore fire-damaged forests. While we can't give specific planting location choices, we prioritize areas in critical need. Right now, all trees are planted in Sequoia National Forest, making your gift a meaningful and sustainable present for nature lovers.
How can gift recipients track their trees?
Recipients (and gift givers) can easily track their trees using our “Find Trees” tool located in the top menu bar. Just search by the recipient’s name or the order date to find planting location maps, baby tree photos, forest details, and a sign-up for updates. This feautre makes our tree gifts interactive and meaningful presents for nature lovers.
How do I get tree updates?
When you send one of our gifts, we’ll automatically email you occasional tree updates. We try to revisit planting areas about every 5–10 years to take new photos so the tree growth can be appreciated. You can unsubscribe from updates anytime.
When will the trees be planted?
We project the number of tribute trees we’ll require each calendar year and then Forest Service plants the trees in early summer. After all those trees are dedicated, we begin planning for a new site the next year. Our approach helps minimize waiting time for tree gift recipients, no matter when in the year they receive their gift. Each gift from Trees for a Change reflects a baby tree planted in a carefully selected forest area.
Can the trees be visited?
Yes! Each of our gifts for tree lovers is tied to a specific planting location that can be visited. We provide forest info and directions on each project’s location page. Many gift recipients find it incredibly meaningful to visit the area where their trees were planted. Please note since we restore large areas of forest at a time, it isn't possible to provide coordinates for individual trees.
