Penny Pines Plantation Program
Being EARTH DAY I feel that this is the perfect day to share this information with you. When my friends son had passed away I wanted to do something meaningful for the family. They use to love camping and hiking so here is what I did. I heard about this program from a dear friend who lost a child and was given a donation of trees planted in remembrance of her son. So I did some research and came across the Penny Pines Plantation Program. I am sure you can find one on your computer. You make a donation in the name of the person you want to remember and they also put a plaque up at the forest with their name on it. They send you paperwork to send to the family. I actually had trees planted up in Mammoth Lakes, California. We have visited the forest a few times and have taken pictures of the plaque for the family to see. (They live in Chicago)
