NATIONAL GARDEN CLUBS, INC. – PLANT-A-TREE PROJECT
Plant-A-Tree is the new reforestation and forest education program replacing Penny Pines. Each garden club can now participate with contributions helping the Forest Service plant trees across the national forest system where reforestation is needed most – places most impacted by wildfires, drought, flooding and other forest disturbances. States, regions, districts, clubs, and/or individuals may participate in this new program.
CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE DONATION PROCESS
- Donation Amount – Donations were previously required in increments of $68.00. Donors can now contribute any amount, starting at $50.00 to as large as $10,000.
- Certificates – As of May 31, 2025, mailed certificates to donors will no longer be provided. Digital certificates will be offered that donors can customize and print themselves. All donors will be asked to provide their email address so NGC can electronically send out tax receipts and online certificate links with instructions.
- Donating to Specified Forests – Donors may choose to have their donation be placed where it is most needed [as determined by the Forest Service] or they may select a specific National Forest. However, the Forest Service reserves the right to utilize these funds based on need. If a National Forest is specified where there is no tree planting need, the donation may be used for another forest.
- Donate Online – Donating online is the preferred way of donating. NGC accepts debit and credit cards, PayPal and Venmo. Go to National Garden Clubs, Inc. – Forms Library – for the fill-in form.
- Donate by Mail – Donations may still be made by check. Mail the completed form with check to:
