Dear Friends of Quail Springs,
We are excited to unveil our Trees for Children website, check it out ! www.treesforchildren.org
The recent press release below gives you an idea of the direction Trees for Children is headed. Several radio and TV interviews have already been scheduled. Please share this website and/or press release far and wide!
Trees for Children and Quail Springs are both projects of True Nature, a non-profit organization that caretakes our mission of promoting the learning and sharing of essential living skills which support personal, community and ecological health and balance.
Trees for Children is a vehicle for people across the country to participate in addressing climate change, and in an interested way, we intend for this to be one more doorway into a more sustainable way of living on the planet for more people . Also, Trees for Children directly benefits Quail Springs, as much of the reforestation will happen here on the 450 acres of Quail Springs in need of restoration after hundreds of years of degradation. We intend to turn this desert back into a forest, and to provide even more abundance than it did before as we demonstrate responsible land stewardship! And the project will contribute financially to the community programs offered at Quail Springs for low-income youth and families.
Thank you,
Kolmi - Caretaker at Quail Springs

Trees for Children "Planting Forests for Life" |
Home and Business Owners Nationwide can Create Forests that Reduce Global Warming.
Trees for Children is replanting the trees used in the construction of homes and businesses as part of its education programs with youth and adults. Through hands-on restoration projects, they teach people how to take responsibility for the planet by creating and caretaking forests that sequester excess carbon that contributes to global warming.
Santa Barbara, CA, July 3, 2007: Our buildings are the single largest carbon contributor to the global climate crisis yet this understanding often takes the backseat to people's perception that vehicles are to blame. People nationwide are taking steps to counter their contribution to the climate crisis by taking responsibility for the buildings they dwell within.
The average new home requires 13,837 board feet of lumber, according to the National Association of Home Builders, and that's more than 90 trees on average. Has your home or business been replanted? Trees for Children, a non-profit project, offers this unique and viable solution for people to take responsibility for the buildings that house their families and their livelihood.
Trees for Children is a unique tree planting program that occurs year round and is a vital part of a forest restoration demonstration and research program. They use natural water harvesting techniques, mixed species tree plantings, weather windows, and tree protection strategies to help ensure healthy growth of the forests they plant. They help to create permanent and diverse forest systems that bind carbon, build soil, slow water and wind created erosion, produce oxygen, and provide important habitat for native flora and fauna. All of this in an effort to bring balance to the climate both locally and globally.
If you would like to consider having your home or business replanted, and receive a certificate that shares, "My Home/Business Has Been Replanted" please visit the Trees for Children website at www.treesforchildren.org to join many others who are taking responsibility for the buildings they dwell within. Together with our children, we can combat global warming as we Plant Forests for Life...
