Hi,

Today we’re all coming together to plant trees in honor of International Day of Forests to help support the villages of Saklana in the Indian state of Uttarakhand, where the trees we plant help local communities reforest their lands. We’re planting peach, plum, walnut, lemon and apricot trees that not only secure and nourish the land — they nourish the people, too.

Thanks to donors like you, we planted 25,000 trees there in February and we plan to return again this spring to plant 10,000 more.

Life is not easy on the foothills of the Himalayas, and even our tree saplings must be delivered up dirt roads by donkey to reach the village. Food security has not yet been achieved, and the village has not been spared from the Covid pandemic. Forests in the region continue to disappear as development and commercial logging grows. But we are making progress and we have more work to do.

Help us Plant 10,000 Trees with a donation on International Day of Forests!

Projects like these bring together the important work of reforestation and sustainable community development. Children are taught the value of trees and community members commit to care for them for generations.

You can help us continue to support our amazing planting villages on this special day. Every dollar you donate will allow us to plant a tree through The Canopy Project.
