Let's teach kids how to plant a tree. The Charitree Foundation is Canada's environmental education charity for children.

Charitree strives to give as many children as we can a tree of their own. It's about supporting environmental education programs for children by giving kids a tree to plant at their home, camp or school that is native to their region ~ and an opportunity to connect with nature and contribute positively to their world.
