A Tree for Every Child

From site: Plant more than ideas in your classroom and for Earth Day. The "A Tree for Every Child" project is a hands-on and flexible environmental education program that allows students to see how practical action can create a better world. The project allows you to teach your students the benefits and rewards of planting trees as part of AMERICAN FORESTS' Global ReLeaf 2000 campaign to plant 20 million tees for the new millenium.

Involve one class, a whole grade level, or the entire school.

It's easy and fun to do. The creative, hands-on lessons not only teach students about trees, but also let them create their own fundraising materials, including plans for a "Tree-mometer" to measure progress toward their goal.

The program is quick and flexible. It can be done either for Earth Day or as part of your regular environmental or science curriculum.

The certificate noting your participation is big enough for every student to sign.

The "10 Reasons Why I Love Trees" poster and other materials show the clear ecological benefits of trees and forests in an engaging way.
