Trees for the 21st Century

Trees for the 21st Century is a unique educational and tree-planting program for children ages 6 to 18, involving science-based learning, tree-planting, and ongoing stewardship activities.

Through the Trees for the 21st Century initiative, we aim to teach children about the value of the environment; expand the world inventory of trees to protect and improve natural resources; and to help children value long term stewardship of trees, Earth's "perfect organic machines."

Plant Trees and Have Fun with your Troop or Group!

We offer Tree Kits that provide everything a youth group needs to take action and enhance learning through tree planting and related activities, including:

Trees for the 21st Century patches and DVD
Activity Guide for Facilitators (by grade level)
Tree Planting & Stewardship Guide
Seedling trees (native to region and approximately 6"–12" tall)
