Trees For A Change

Looking for a fresh holiday gift idea that is carbon-positive, environmentally beneficial, and emotionally satisfying? Here's a suggestion.

A self-admitted, lifelong handmade gift giver, Kim Isley was studying ways to reduce her own carbon footprint where she learned about the many benefits of tree planting. And she realized the two urges could be neatly integrated.

Trees for A Change planted more than 1600 seedlings in Plumas National Forest last June, which Isley says is close enough to be able to visit and monitor regularly.

And regular updates on the statusof the trees is part of the program, regardless of where they are planted.
