Holiday gifts from the Arbor Day Foundation can last for generations
The not-for-profit Arbor Day Foundation suggests these holiday gifts:
— Give-A-Tree cards from the Arbor Day Foundation offer conservation benefits that will endure for generations. Cards may be purchased for $5.95. With a customized text; each card stands for a planted tree;
— Arbor Day Foundation coffee helps preserve rainforests in Central America and South America. As part of the Rain Forest Rescue program, the coffee is shade-grown under the canopy of Latin American rainforests. Unlike sun-grown coffee farms, this traditional shade-grown method gives coffee a rich and delicious flavor. The cost per bag is $16.44, including shipping;
— With the Trees in Celebration program, for each dollar donated, one tree is planted in a high-need forest, and recipients are given a certificate showing them where the trees were planted; and
— Membership with the Arbor Day Foundation gives recipients 10 free trees, which will be shipped at the right time of year for planting. Membership levels vary and begin with a $10 contribution.
