Cool Gift of the Day
Friday, April 18, 2008
What it is:
A gift card that lets the recipient choose a sapling that is an offspring of a tree connected to a famous person, place, or historical event.
Why we love it:
From George Washington to Johnny Appleseed, Walt Disney to Elvis Presley, trees are a part of our history. Because planting a tree is an investment in the future, Famous & Historic Trees offer a unique way to connect both our past and our future. Money from the sale of these gift cards goes to American Forests, the nation's oldest nonprofit conservation group. Their many efforts on behalf of trees include tree planting, urban forestry, environmental education, community-based forestry, and the Famous & Historic Trees program.
