Campaign to Reforest America
September 23, 2008Plow and Hearth, in partnership with the National Forest Foundation, has launched the Campaign to Reforest America, which aims to replenish U.S. forests with one million trees by the end of 2009.
For every order placed, Plow and Hearth will donate a tree seedling to the National Forest Foundation. The seedlings will be distributed to National Forests in need of reforestation due to forest fires and the effects of modern civilization.
“Plow and Hearth has had a long-standing commitment to protecting the environment,” said Plow and Hearth CEO Tim Hopkins. “Donating one million trees will be quite an undertaking, but with our contributions and donations from our customers, I am confident that we can reach this lofty goal.”
At the conclusion of any transaction, customers will be able to select one of the following habitats to receive their donation:
San Bernardino National Forest, California: September 2007 wildfires destroyed more than 14,600 acres.
Huron- Manistee National Forest, Michigan: Depletion of forest has led to severely diminished nesting habitat for the Kirtland’s warbler.
Ocala National Forest, Florida: More than 30 plant and animal species are threatened or endangered due to the decline of native longleaf pine forest.
People may also donate directly to the program through the National Forest Foundation.

I cannot make a purchase or donation at this time. Can customers request a tree be planted without making a purchase?
