PLANTING LOCATIONS
Every year forest fires claim hundreds of thousands of
acres of pristine forest, and every year reforestation
groups struggle to bring these areas back to life as
quickly as possible. A healthy forest provides a stable
environment for creatures large and small, as well as
protecting against erosion and providing oxygen and
filtering pollutants out of the air. We are currently
having trees planted in the following national forests:
Shasta-Trinity National Forest (California)
Seminole State Forest (Florida)

Shasta-Trinity National Forest
The Shasta-Trinity National Forest is the largest National Forest within the state of
California. Within it are over 2 million acres of protected lands, including the highlands
of Mt. Shasta (14,000 ft), its surrounding valleys and meadows, countless mountain
lakes and over 6000 miles of rivers and streams. There are 5 different federally
designated Wilderness Areas within its borders, and the forest is home to hundreds of
species of birds, fish and mammals.
In the Summer of 2008, the area's worst-ever fire blazed through the Shasta-Trinity
National Forest. Hundreds of fires left thousands of acres of pristine wilderness
completely burnt off, with no hope of regrowth on their own. Since that time,
reforestation efforts have been undertaken by the U.S. Forest Service, which has plans
to re-plant 640,000 trees within the most affected areas of the park.. We are proud to
be doing our part as well, through national non-profit planting groups, to bring this
wonderful natural resource back to life.

Seminole State Forest
The Seminole State Forest is located in Central Florida and comprises approximately
25,000 acres of wetlands, swamps, and pine forests. Bordered by the Wekiva River on
the east, the forest contains numerous streams, ponds, creeks, and even 3 named
natural springs. It provides an incredibly diverse habitat for countless species of
wildlife and more than a few endangered or rare species. Recreational activities of all
types are available and, being located close to Orlando, insures that the forest is
enjoyed by multitudes of Floridians all year round.
In 2007, however, wildfires swept through the area, scorching thousands of acres and
destroying the vital growth areas and natural ecosystems. The time to replant is
running out, and state agencies have made it a priority to plant up to 200,000 long leaf
In 2007, however, wildfires swept through the area, scorching thousands of acres and
and slash pines in the decimated area and to try to bring back the native environment
as quickly as possible.
