John,

This year, we decided to get a head start on our historic Giving Tuesday campaign to plant 20,000 Trees for Wildlife. Thanks to our early bird supporters, we’re already soaring towards our most ambitious goal ever!

But we still need 112 supporters from your state to give a Tree for Wildlife, so we’re kicking this off right at the crack of dawn. Will you be one of the 112 wildlife champions we need in your community and make a gift to plant Trees For Wildlife?

Did you know that tree cover is in decline in urban environments? A recent study found that nearly half of US states are losing tree coverage in cities and communities at an alarming rate. Only three states saw any increase in urban tree canopy.

To reverse this disturbing trend in communities like yours and meet the critical need for new native trees, we’re planting 20,000 additional trees this year. Will you step up this Giving Tuesday and be one of the 112 supporters in your state that we need to reach our historic Trees for Wildlife goal?

Be a Giving Tuesday Early Bird

It’s easy to forget how important nature is to cities. In addition to being vital homes for wildlife, trees act as air conditioners, air filters, carbon storage units, urban noise reducers, and stress relievers. In short, we need trees—and especially, native trees—in our urban ecosystems as much as our forests and parks.

John, can we count on you? Don’t miss this special opportunity to give back in a meaningful way on the most important Giving Tuesday we’ve ever had.

If we want to continue to see songbirds in our yards, butterflies in our parks, and owls in our forests we need to stop the concerning decline in tree populations in our communities across the United States.

Thank you for your support on this vitally important day for wildlife.

   

Sincerely,

Matthew Kehres
