Yes, every little bit helps! Please help us plant conifers in the Red Alder Forest. The Red Alder forest was most recently logged in the early 1960s. The main tree that has come back is the Red Alder which is often the first to sprout after severe disturbance and thrives in moist environments. Originally this was probably an old growth cedar, fir and hemlock forest. This alder forest is mature, nearing the end of its life span (about 50-80 years). The trees will be falling and thus make room for the conifers to come in. Alder decays quickly as well as fixing nitrogen in the soil as it grows and thus replenishes the forest floor.

Everyone who donates $50 or more to plant trees in the Red Alder forest will have their name – or the name of a person they would like to honor – added to a sign by the forest.

Benefits of donating to plant more conifers in the Red Alder Forest:
• Trees combat climate change and global warming.
• Trees soak up CO2 naturally, creating oxygen and cleaner, healthier air for us.
• Healthy forests create and sustain wildlife habitats and diverse balanced ecosystems.
• Trees can be holders of memory for us, places we can return to for inspiration and renewal in our lives.
• Trees can be our companions and a source of joy, hope, and trust for the future.
• Your donation will enable us to fill this Red Alder forest with a wide variety of trees, including Cedars, Spruces, Firs, Pines, Redwoods, Sequoias, Willows, and more!
