Can someone tell me of a reputable Plant-A-Tree organization (it's for someone's birthday)?

Question

I want to plant a tree for my eco-conscious sister-in-law's birthday, but I want to make sure I'm doing it through a reputable organization.

Answer 1

Try ARBOR DAY

http://www.arborday.org/

and

http://www.treehugger.com

Answer 2

If you are in the Uk, Sainsbury's sell them, so you can plant it where you like.

If you want somebody to plant it for you and you'll get a certificate from Bill Oddie.  The web site below is a good idea.

Answer 3

can you not run a shovel?

Answer 4

Arbor Day Foundation is a good start (see first link below).

The Nature Conservancy, Rails to Trails and even some of our national parks have programs that offer tree planting "packages" for lack of a better term.

Across the U.S. there are a number of urban tree planting programs (Chicago's is a good example) that can involve your sister-in-law on a variety of levels.

Of the groups out there planting trees I'd steer clear of American Forest.  Their end results for tree planting are... questionable.

Answer 5

Try "Trees for the Future"
