Trees for the Future

I am profoundly and passionately touched by the work, from the heart, of Dave & Grace Deppner and the kind, caring folks at Trees for the Future.

They have planted 50 million trees around the world!

10 cents plants a tree. Over half-a-billion trees could be planted around the world. It's possible. Imagine the impact...

hey have an idea called the "forest garden" which combines the best attributes of both, producing a great amount of product, sustainably, on a very small piece of land. With this you are sending millions of roots down into the ground which are guiding water back into underground aqua firs, you have a return of diversity, you've cooled the land, cleared the air a bit, and improved the quality of life just by planing some seeds (as Dave tells it).The results are incredible! Their work is simple, clear and inclusive. Their success comes from involving communities, teaching proper stewardship and harmony with nature.
After having volunteered in developing countries around the world in the 1970s the Deppners' saw the increasing human tragedy brought on by illegal logging and unsustainable land management. They started to take action to help the families who could no longer sustain themselves and struggled to put food on the table.

Working with community leaders, the Deppners began to find ways to offer hope to villagers by reestablishing productive lands - with their families and culture intact. They renewed degraded lands by providing farmers with beneficial tree seed, technical training, and on-site planning assistance. People responded enthusiastically. Entire villages joined in, making great sacrifices to save their homes and way of life.
