Kids4Trees is a California nonprofit organization that aims to provide outdoor forest education and tree planting programs for elementary school children across the United States. Through their half-day program, children participate in workshops covering various topics such as trees, soil water, wildlife, recycling, litter, and climate change, followed by tree planting, singing, and inspirational speeches. Kids4Trees has partnered with organizations like the USDA Forest Service, World Olympians Association, and United Nations Environment Programme, among others, to promote environmental stewardship and healthy lifestyle choices among underserved students.
With a focus on serving low-income and minority students, Kids4Trees has successfully implemented programs in the Los Angeles Unified School District and partnered with the US Forest Service to provide hands-on outdoor environmental education to tens of thousands of students. The organization is now seeking one million dollars in funding to expand its reach nationally, collaborating with retired forest service personnel and local environmental organizations to establish regional managers and teaching teams. By engaging children in tree planting, art activities, and educational workshops, Kids4Trees aims to foster a sense of responsibility and connection to nature among young learners.
