Actions
Lower Your Energy Bills
Plant trees near your house and you will likely see your energy bills go down. The trees will provide shade and block the wind, so you won’t have to crank your air conditioner and heater.
The TREES Act of 2021 would result in 300,000 more trees planted annually, particularly in the many underserved communities of the United States where trees are sparse.
Save Lives, Slow Climate Change and Create Jobs
The Climate Stewardship Act would result in 100 million new trees in urban areas and billions of new trees in large forest landscapes, all in the United States and mostly on public land, by 2030.
Ask your Congressional leaders to support this legislation.
Be a voice for the REPLANT Act
The REPLANT Act would provide the United States Forest Service with funding to plant or facilitate the natural growth of more than 1.2 billion trees over the next decade.
Help us make the REPLANT Act a reality by asking your Congressional leaders to support this legislation.
