This Earth Month, we need your help. In the race against climate change, we can’t stand around holding our breath. If you believe every breath counts, then you believe every tree matters. Trees are the lungs of the Earth — we can’t afford to have them on life support.
In just one year, trees across the U.S. filter 17.4 million tons of pollutants from our air, preventing 670,000 cases of acute respiratory symptoms annually. Within our cities, just one mature tree can capture the carbon emissions of one car driving 1,500 miles. Simply put, we need trees to breathe clean air.
But you can breathe easier, because we have a plan. For 150 years, American Forests has been at the forefront of creating and restoring healthy, resilient ecosystems and communities across the country.
Here’s what your support will do now:
- Deliver science-backed solutions for forests and urban communities alike
- Expand tree canopy in cities so every community has access to the life-saving benefits of trees
- Increase resilience across lives and landscapes for future generations
This Earth Month, it’s more important than ever to show your support. Help us ensure the lungs of the Earth can be sustained now and in the future.
