Through seed distribution, agroforestry training, and our country programs, we have empowered rural groups to restore tree cover to their lands. Planting trees protects the environment and helps to preserve traditional livelihoods and cultures for generations.” Trees for the Future.There is so much I could say about deforestation. I could list ways it has changed our planet, how people are suffering and dying because of it, how it is changing our future – but I won’t. It’s not new news. It’s not anything we haven’t heard before but instead I will offer you a way to help be a part of the solution. A way we can all help today to rebuild a part of our world that will help solve many of these problems.10₵ will get one tree planted through Trees for the Future. It will help villages as they learn about sustainability, it will help grow food, feed animals and bring back wildlife that had disappeared. Trees for the Future has already planted 50 million trees and they are still counting. They need our support to be part of the solution. With just $10.00 I planted 100 trees today. I am already breathing easier knowing I am doing something today to be the change I want to see in the world. What will you do?

I first found them while researching the Ugandan community I’m working with. Trees for the Future helped the Ugandans after a serious landslide in 2010 killed several hundred people. They taught people how to terrace the steep hillsides (scary steep!), established a tree nursery, and helped them with a fast growing plant to stabilize the slopes.They have photos of their work all over the world on Flickr, and photos of the Ugandan community begin here http://www.flickr.com/photos/plant-trees/3594182761/ .A very worthwhile organization! jacqueline on July 9, 2011 at 1:58 pm My husband loves them so comfortable. He got them at the Gap. They sell them and on sale! Enjoy and thanks for the comment.
