Choose A Forest
Using data mapping technology and working with on-the-ground partners, we’ve identified three forests in dire need of replanting this summer. Now, the choice is yours. Learn about each project, then choose which you’ll help grow.
When you donate this summer, we’ll match it.
The Arbor Day Foundation is matching all donations tree for tree through July 31. Donate today to double your support for forests in need.

Florida Hurricane Recovery
Support storm recovery in the Florida Panhandle
In 2018, Hurricane Michael had a devastating impact on the ecosystems, forests, and people living in the Florida Panhandle. Today, recovery efforts continue.
Your donation goes toward planting 25,000 trees in Bay, Calhoun, Jackson, and Liberty County, FL. With your help, we can reduce the impacts of future storms, reduce wildlife risks, and make this whole area healthier and more beautiful. Plus, you can be a part of preserving the legacy of sustainable forestry in the Florida Panhandle.
Amazon Rainforest Reforestation
Protect biodiversity and Indigenous communities in the Amazon
The Amazon Rainforest has already lost 20% of its native vegetation. These losses threaten a harmonious way of life in Rondônia and Mato Grosso, Brazil, where tree cover is essential to generate food, medicine, and income for thousands of Indigenous people.
Join us in protecting one of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet. Your support will help us plant 50,000 trees in this area, preserving animal habitats, plant diversity, soil health, water quality, climate resiliency, and economic opportunity.
Klamath National Forest Restoration
Regrow wildlife habitats in Northern California
The bears, bald eagles, bobcats, and other creatures in Siskiyou County need your help. While logging has a long history in California, clear-cutting without replanting is having a devastating effect on this region.
With your support, we can plant 25,000 trees — including ponderosa pines, Douglas firs, California red firs, and more — in the heart of bear country. Reforestation in this historic area doesn’t just mean better habitats for wildlife. More trees mean cleaner water and air, as well as more beautiful scenery for the thousands of annual forest visitors.
How do we find forests in need?
We identify our reforestation projects through a mix of data and on-the-ground opportunities. First, we analyze areas for the potential benefits of reforestation based on:
- Current level of biodiversity
- Opportunity to increase resilience
- Indigenous and community impact
Then, we assess the partners we have in the area who are prepared to get shovels in the ground. These factors are combined to create a priority score, which helps us determine where to focus our efforts for the greatest impact.
