Green Forests Initiative

We grow trees.
Help us plant more.

A small, hands-on tree-planting project in the Valley, Virginia.

Progress so far

Handwritten tag listing seven tree species and quantities: 25 Norway Spruce, 50 Ponderosa Pine, 25 White Pine, 25 Cottonwood, 50 Seedless Cottonwood, 25 Swamp White Oak, 50 Chokeberry.
Last year's order: 250 trees, planted in Nebraska.

A street with trees feels different. Shade takes the heat out of the pavement, roots drink the storm before it floods the basement, and every branch is a home for birds, bees, and things you never noticed.

Trees also store carbon as they grow, quietly, for decades. They make a place worth living in. We aim to plant natives, and we stay with them through their first two summers, when it matters most.

What your gift does

Donations pay for saplings, planting supplies, and the compute behind our long-term goal: low-cost tools to track sapling health, so fewer young trees are lost.

Every gift is spent on those two things. We will post a running tally of trees funded here.
