Give a Tree for the Holidays!

Looking for a fresh holiday gift idea that is carbon-positive, environmentally beneficial, and emotionally satisfying? Give a gift of a tree!

Our own local public radio station and GoLocal member KRCB interviewed Kim Isley, "Treehugger in Chief" of Trees for a Change, another fantastic GoLocal member.

A self-admitted, lifelong handmade gift giver, Kim Isley was studying ways to reduce her own carbon footprint where she learned about the many benefits of tree planting. And she realized the two urges could be neatly integrated.

Trees for A Change planted more than 1600 seedlings in Plumas National Forest last June, which Isley says is close enough to be able to visit and monitor regularly. 

And regular updates on the status of the trees is part of the program, regardless of where they are planted.
