We have decided that it is time to close down this project. We were unable to sustain it through donations last fall, and have not received any further donations since then. Although the Forest Service donated saplings previously and likely will be able to again when schools reopen, school closures due to COVID-19 are expected to continue until at least December.
In the meantime, the teacher has been visiting the school to tend the trees that were planted there, and although we have not been able to visit the other locations where the saplings we gave the children were planted, we are hopeful that our efforts to give the children a sense of ownership and pride was successful in inspiring them to see that they were looked after.
Your support for our efforts was heartening, and much appreciated. Our other Global Projects are continuing, and if you would like to show your appreciation of our efforts, please consider donating to our most active current project, emergency relief for victims of the COVID-19 lockdown.
Take care, and know that we will all get through this!
