Celebration Forest
WELCOME!
Where is Celebration Forest?
Most people imagine a forest as "out there", but Celebration Forest grows right where we live, work, play and sleep. One by one, village by village, town by town, city by city, individuals will reside in Celebration Forest as they come together to make this virtual forest a reality.
Celebration Forest is an invitation to re-imagine what it means to live in a forest. This reforestation concept engages each of us in a meaningful way to participate in "the greening" of our own yards, lots, towns, villages, cities and states.This not-for-profit initiative has the potential to grow across the boundaries of village, town, city and state; joining people everywhere in a common bond. As we work together to greatly increase a living Celebration Forest, how wonderful to know it has it's roots in your neighborhood and town! Imagine growing Celebration Forest one tree at a time, right where you are!
Why Now?
Trees are essential to human life and to the quality of life we share. Planting species that produce edible fruit and nuts food security in local areas. Take a deep breath and give thanks. It takes 7 mature trees to provide the air that you breath. As we experience a worldwide tree loss, air quality concerns and rising global temperatures; addressing these life threatening issues and ensuring for a positive future is at the heart of Celebration Forest.
Who Participate ?
Anyone can reside in Celebration Forest by simply planting of trees. Through donations or direct planting, individuals, families, co-workers, organizations or whole cities can "live" in Celebration Forest. This concept is intended to support the efforts that are already established to reforest municipalities, parks and public lands as well as encourage tree growth on private property.
Each individual, Organization, Town, Village, City or State set the standards for the levels of giving and manage all funds and tree implementation. Partnering with your local civic organizations, schools, libraries and faith communities and Eagle/Golden Scouts are great ways to engage the whole community. The expectation for this project is that all donations will go directly to ensure that this virtual forest becomes a reality.
Will you and yours be next to add your name to the growing roster of residents living in this shared, intentional forest?
In the Fall of 2017, the Village of Brockport, New York almost doubled their annual tree donations with their participation in this project. Plans for continued fund raising and education program plans are underway in Brockport for their 2020 Earth Day and Arbor Day.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to grow Celebration Forest in your town?
