Planting to Restore Forests and Watersheds
In the United States, your trees help restore the watershed in the Withlacoochee State Forest, all the while protecting the habitats of numerous wildlife species. We are also replanting part of the areas affected by Terwilliger Fire in Oregon’s Willamette National Forest, and working with local landowners in Northern California to replant burnt areas with native species, such as Ponderosa Pine and Douglas-fir.
