"A Walk in the Forest"
Have you seen the 2021 UN Climate report?

To do our part to combat global warming, we WILL be making a difference to the entire planet with our fundraising events this social season. We hope you will be able to join us and support our efforts as we change the world!
We are planning a few small fundraisers and at least one large event as part of our "A Walk in the Forest" project. Keep checking back to see what we are up to next.
We are raising funds for the following projects:
Our biggest project this season is raising funds to plant a forest in the UK via the Queen's Green Canopy. This project was created to honor HRM, Queen Elizabeth II, on the occasion of her 70th year on the throne, her Platinum Jubilee. By supporting us, you help us plant a new forest in Britain and get the QGC one more forest closer to their 70 new forest goal.
Local projects include funding urban forests in West Palm Beach and Boynton Beach, and planting native trees for the Palm Beach Phipps Ocean Park renovation. The West Palm Beach and Boynton Beach tree plantings will be in conjunction with Community Greening, a local tree-planting charity.
Finally, we will be making another donation to The White Feather Foundation--Julian Lennon's foundation. Funds raised will go to support tree plantings in Africa and around the world via Forest Nation. We have supported this foundation in the past--what great work they do!
