Tree Planting Program

Love Trees manages a global children’s educational tree planting program and is also a member of the United Nations Environment Programme’s (UNEP) Billion Tree Campaign. This year, the UN has launched the International Year of Forests and every Love Tree planted helps the UNEP reach a target goal of planting 12 billion trees worldwide.

Love Trees works independently and partners with development organizations to provide trees and environmental education to school children in Africa, North America and Haiti so kids can have a Love Tree of their own to plant. When they plant their tree, either with their family at home or as part of a school or camp environmental project, they get to make a wish for the planet. They’re also learning that they have the power to help make the world a better place.

In developing countries, a Love Tree is truly a “tree of life” as it can alleviate hunger, foster self-sufficiency, provide natural disaster tree relief, combat global warming and improve nearby soil, air and water. ”There’s something so hopeful about planting trees with kids,” said executive director Andrea Koehle Jones. “Kids are the future stewards of the environment. They’re concerned about the state of the planet and eager to help. I’ve seen the magic that happens when you give a child a tree – let’s give as many children as we can a Love Tree to plant.”
