Happy Arbor Day!

In the past 16 years, we have worked with hundreds of communities throughout Central America and Haiti to plant more than 5 million trees. Our reforestation programs focus on establishing and maintaining tree nurseries, educating communities about the positive environmental impacts of reforestation, and strengthening economic development, both through conservation and the responsible management of forest resources. We work with existing local groups, schools, and communities in extremely low-income rural and peri-urban areas to provide guidance on how to plant, graft, and maintain their trees.

We could not do this work without our generous friends and supporters who donate to these important reforestation efforts. Thank you to everyone who has made a difference for people and the planet. We honor you on this Arbor Day!

Today, we celebrate Arbor Day,  a holiday in which individuals and groups are encouraged to plant and care for trees. The first Arbor Day was held on April 10, 1872 and an estimated one million trees were planted that day.

Celebrate Arbor day by planting trees!
