July 2022 Tanzania Tree Donation
10,000 Trees Donated to Forest Nation to Tree Up Tanzania
We donated 10,000 trees to tree-planting company Forest Nation. This company has been planting trees in areas of need for years. Learn more about our donation at:
https://forestnation.com/net/forests/sgsofpb/
Through funds raised during our "A Walk in the Forest" project, as well as donations raised during our 15th birthday luncheon, we were able to pay for 10,000 trees to be planted in Tanzania (a Commonwealth nation)!!!! We are so excited to be able to support the Trillion Tree Project that Forest Nation is a part of, as well as supporting Tanzania during the Platinum Jubilee year where Commonwealth countries are planting trees to honor HRM Queen Elizabeth II in this 70th year of her reign. Dual purpose.
If you are unaware, Tanzania is in desperate need of trees--the water wars started a few years ago. Forest Nation has been working to solve this tree-deficiency problem for a few years now. We are thrilled to be a donor towards this transformative project. https://forestnation.com

"A Walk in the Forest"
A St. George's Society of Palm Beach Project
Our 2021-2022 tree-planting fundraising project has 5 components--more info on the Events Page "A Walk in the Forest":
1--Raising funds to plant 1,000 trees in the UK to support the tree-planting efforts of the Queen's Green Canopy. The QGC chose Liverpool as they only have 6% canopy coverage. The donation was made on December 28, 2021. Some of our trees can be seen at the University of Liverpool (part of the teacher training program) outside the John Lennon Art & Design Building and throughout Newsham Park & Garden to the northeast of Liverpool. More trees still to be planted. The QGC tree-planting partner is Mersey Forest. We will also fund an additional QGC planting this Fall, likely in Glasgow, Scotland.
2--Planting a small urban forest in the City of West Palm Beach as part of their tree-planting program that calls for 1,000 trees to be planted each year for 10 years.
3--Planting a small urban forest in the City of Boynton Beach with Community Greening to support their climate mitigation plans that call for 3,000 trees to be planted each year for 15 years.
4--Support the Town of Palm Beach by donating some trees to be planted in town.
5--Support Forest Nation as they plant trees in Africa--currently in Tanzania (a Commonwealth nation). We will be planting a minimum of 6,600 trees.
