Why should we invest in planting more trees?

The world needs more trees. Trees stop erosion, produce oxygen, offset carbon emissions, remove toxins from the soil and water and provide food and habitats for many people and animals. Children around the world will suffer most from the impacts of climate change but they also hold the future of the planet in their hands.  Having a Love Tree of their own to grow with them is great way to inspire them and show them that they have the power to make the world a better place.

What can I do to help?

• Give: Contribute to Love Trees children’s tree planting and environmental education programs. Each $5 (or more) contribution helps Love Trees set-up and run programs that will put a Love Tree in the hands of school children in Haiti, Africa and North America. Help educate kids, provide future food sources, alleviate poverty and provide natural disaster tree relief. Love Trees is not a charity and does not issue tax receipts.

• Dedicate a Love Tree: Love Trees kid’s environmental program has been created to give as many children as possible a Love Tree of their own to plant – so order lots of Love Tree certificates! We have more requests for trees from kids and teachers than we can fill. The more certificates you order – the more kids can have a tree of their own.

Does Love Trees offer options for Green Weddings?

Yes we sell tree favours for orders over 50 seedlings. Email andrea (at) lovetrees (dot) ca for an estimate. Wedding Tree Certificates:  Order as many trees planted as you want in honor of your wedding or guests, add a special message to your tree planting certificate and either:

• mail a printed copy (printed on 100% tree-free recycled paper – available at Staples) to each of your guests with their thank you note or as a thank you note;
• frame a certificate and put it in the middle of each table at the reception or just have one at the gift table;
• roll a certificate up and tie it with a ribbon matching the wedding colors then place one at each place setting.

What’s the difference between Love Trees and The ChariTREE Foundation?

Both organizations are dedicated to giving as many children as we can a tree of their own. The ChariTREE Foundations is a registered Canadian charity and issues tax receipts for donations. ChariTREE is a member of The United Nations Billion Tree Campaign and operates in Canada and Zambia.

Love Trees operates globally, does not issue tax receipts and is also a member of The United Nations Billion Tree Campaign. Love Trees sells tree certificates and runs Greened by Love Trees. Love Trees donates a portion of profits to The ChariTREE Foundation.
