How Tree Planting Works
Forest restoration remains an important need across the United States. Tree planting projects help restore areas affected by wildfire, storms, insects, disease, and other environmental challenges. Through partnerships with professional forestry and conservation organizations, trees are planted where they can provide lasting ecological benefits for generations to come.
Still have questions? Below are answers to some of the questions we receive most often from our customers.
Who Plants The Trees?
Trees are planted through established reforestation programs operated by conservation organizations, forestry professionals, and government agencies. Together, these programs restore forests damaged by wildfire, storms, insects, and other environmental challenges.
Can I Visit My Tree?
Because trees are planted as part of large-scale forest restoration projects, often in remote and areas spanning thousands of acres, visits are generally not possible. Additionally, neither planting areas nor individual trees are not marked or identified, so there is no way to establish that any particular tree resulted from any particular order.
When Are Trees Planted?
Most planting takes place in the spring, when conditions are best for seedling survival and long-term growth. Orders placed throughout the year are included in upcoming planting cycles.
How Fast Will the Gift Arrive?
We try very hard to send out your gift within 2 business days of your order. We offer First Class and Express Mail as options you select within the checkout process.
Where are The Trees Planted?
Planting projects focus on areas where forests have been damaged by wildfire, storms, disease, insects, or other environmental impacts. Programs are established by the US Forest Service and other civic agencies. Basically, trees are planted where they are needed most.
