PLANT A TREE FOR FREE - Protect Monarch Butterflies & Save American Chestnuts

Take action at the sites below to plant trees! Your actions will support projects in Michoacan, Mexico to aid in the reforestation of the winter home of most North American Monarch Butterflies through La Cruz Habitat Protection Project, Inc., and The American Chestnut Foundation's (TACF) effort to back cross a blight-resistant American chestnut, and reintroduce it to American forests. The chestnut was once the dominant tree in much of the eastern US, but was destroyed by an imported blight first discovered in 1904. TAKE ACTION at these Sites and Plant a Tree!

Plantings have taken place on National and State Forests, State and County Parks, and many reclamation areas.
