At Love Trees we like to see the world as it can be ~ we are taking action right now by planting trees around the world and helping teachers to educate the future Stewards of the Environment – Children.

“Keep up the good work. We at African Community Project thank you for your continuing support.The trees you have supported in the past are very happy living alongside the children they share this earth with.” – Garry Brooks, African Community Project, Zambia.

Love Trees has already planted thousands of trees and wishes by giving kids the skills to change the world. Since 2006 we have given school children from inner city schools in New York and Nairobi, to students in pine-beetle infested regions of Northern British Columbia to students in post-Hurricane Katrina Lafayette, Louisiana and many places in between a Love Tree of their own to plant, watch grow and learn that even kids have GREEN POWER – the power to make the world a better place.
