Now accepting donations

If you look to the right, you'll see the most exciting news we've had yet: we are now accepting online donations.

To donate, simply click on the "Donate" button. You will be redirected to a secure PayPal website, where you can use any major credit card to donate any amount you'd like. No donation is too small! You do not need a PayPal account to donate -- when redirected, look to the bottom left of the PayPal page, for the bold text that says, "Don't have a PayPal account?"

Once we've received your information, we will send you an official donation letter, which can be used as a record for your tax returns. All donations are tax-deductible.

We're also in the process of setting up a PO box, where you will be able to send donations by check. We'll post about that as soon as we get the address.

Our Mission

Another busy day at E's Trees headquarters. We're still working hard on a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff. In the meantime, we wanted to post our mission statement, to give you a better idea of what we do.

Our mission is to benefit individuals and communities by:
  • planting and maintaining native hardwood and other trees to storm damaged communities in the United States,
  • enhancing the quality of depressed neighborhoods by planting and maintaining long living hardwood and other trees in the area,
  • working with other organizations to restore native tree habitat,
  • participating in research related to the usefulness of certain tree vegetation in restoring brownfields and in ameliorating other environmental damage.

Welcome to our new blog

E's Trees is a non-profit organization committed to the planting and maintenance of hardwood trees on public lands. We're just getting started, so this is a very exciting time for us!

We have a lot currently in the works. The preliminary designs for our website have come in, and we should get the site up and running soon. We're also working on ways to take donations from the website.

Also, we're looking for our first project! If you know of any public lands in your area that need trees, send us an email.

There will be lots more to update on in the next few weeks, so keep checking back with us.
