How to Join the Arbor Day Foundation
The Arbor Day Foundation is an organization that "inspires people to plant, nurture and celebrate trees." Their vision is a world where trees and forests are abundant, healthy, sustainable and highly valued by all people. The Arbor Day Foundation makes a convincing case for their dream by providing positive statistics on the benefits of trees, both to our pocketbook and the environment. A membership to this foundation not only furthers their worthy cause, but also entitles you to receive 10 free saplings so that you, too, can share in the love of trees. Does this Spark an idea?
