Fall Foliage

One Dollar. One Tree.

This Fall season, we're celebrating the regions in North America where leaves of deciduous trees transform to beautiful oranges, yellows, reds, purples, and browns of autumn. Planting trees in areas with vibrant fall foliage will ensure these stunning landscapes can be enjoyed for generations. Learn more

With your help, we will:

  • Improve soil, water, and air quality
  • Protect biodiversity by restoring wildlife habitat
  • Increase forest cover to restore healthy forests ecosystems
  • Beginning in mid-September, deciduous trees in the northern region of North America begin to change color from green to striking shades of orange, yellow, and red through a process called photosynthesis. This occurs when the days begin to get shorter and colder, and the chlorophyll molecules in the leaves of trees begin to break down to reveal yellow and orange pigments. The color of the leaves will change and progress with the North American Fall season, meaning that trees in the north will see peak color changes around mid-October, and trees further south will see color changes around mid-November.
  • Reforestation in regions with fall foliage will support these forests that offer beautiful tranquility and help to preserve them for generations to come. The trees planted will improve water and air quality by filtering rainwater through their root systems, and by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and releasing oxygen for us to breathe. These trees will be a part of larger deciduous forests and will support local flora and fauna by providing habitat for a range of native wildlife species. With each tree planted, the health of our natural environment will be improved, along with our spirits as we honor the beauty of these autumn trees.
  • A personalized tree certificate (see gallery) to say thanks for your donation. The various regions where your trees could be planted include but are not limited to Alberta, Appalachia, and Ontario. In addition to a certificate, we'll also send you updates on our planting project, so you can track the impact your trees are having on the community and environment. Note: These trees may not be planted during the fall season, but they will grow to contribute to the spectacular fall foliage we all enjoy.
  • Every tree planted will impact the surrounding ecosystem, and must be selected with great care. We work with our planting partners to ensure each species we plant will only provide benefits to the surrounding ecosystem. Species vary based on each project location, but some of the native deciduous trees that will be planted include: sugar maple, yellow poplar, oak, and American chestnut. Along with complementary natives species of different varieties like jack pine, eastern hemlock, and red pine.

Why Plant Trees for Fall Foliage?

IMPROVE WATER AND AIR QUALITY

IMPROVE WATER AND AIR QUALITY

Trees play a key role in capturing rainwater which prevents harmful waterslide erosion and reduces the risk of over-saturation and flooding. Trees also help to clean the air we breathe and healthy, strong trees act as carbon sinks, offsetting carbon and reducing the effects of climate change.

PROTECT BIODIVERSITY BY CREATING WILDLIFE HABITAT

PROTECT BIODIVERSITY BY CREATING WILDLIFE HABITAT

A single tree can be home to hundreds of species of insect, fungi, moss, mammals, and plants. Depending on the kind of food and shelter they need, different forest animals require different types of habitat. Without trees, forest creatures would have nowhere to call home.

INCREASE FOREST COVER TO BUILD HEALTHY FORESTS

INCREASE FOREST COVER TO BUILD HEALTHY FORESTS

Planting native tree species is critically important to build resilient forests, helping the entire ecosystem flourish with both native flora and fauna. Without tree planting, these areas become overrun with non-native invasive species. Ensuring that these forests grow to be healthy will guarantee that they will be enjoyed by communities for generations.

Creating Nature's Canvas Throughout Canada & the US

Fall foliage is our initiative aimed at planting trees in regions that experience the beautiful transformation of leaves during autumn. This project is dedicated to restoring nature's canvas in regions such as Ontario, California, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Vermont, and Nova Scotia, where the vibrant transformation of foliage enriches the natural scenery.

Rest assured, your donations will be allocated strategically to where they are most needed. Your support plays a crucial role in maintaining these environments, ensuring clean air and water, regulating the local climate, and fostering local biodiversity. Together, we are making a direct impact on these vital aspects of nature, securing a vibrant and sustainable future for these regions.
