Just as my mom taught me how and why caring for the earth is crucial when I was growing up, I try to instill the importance of the environment in my children. Both of my little ones also have a deep love for nature outside of me encouraging it, which brings me so much joy. For my daughter's fifth birthday in December, I wanted to get her something beyond just the regular toys and clothes she receives. I knew a Trees in Celebration Certificate from Arbor Day Foundation would be the perfect gift.

These gifts work to restore precious habitat and bring our Nation’s Forests back to life! Sustainable, memorable, and wonderful.

As a garden and nature lover I love not only the cause of these cards, but the value as well. You can have them send you a card or download it and print it yourself if you need a card or certificate in a pinch!

It’s a gift that benefits all of us, present and future, including the world we stand on. Trees truly are our livelihood and each Arbor Day Foundation Giftcard plants one or more trees in honor of those you gift them to!

May the tree plantings you continue to do in these areas be fruitful, and bring tears of joy and light to the hearts of those this has been taken away from. The rebuilding of a life can indeed start by planting a tree, they like our hearts, minds and souls need nurturing. Trees are symbolic in our lives, changing over the seasons, spreading out our roots and taking care of those around us. Thanks for all you do…
