Trees for the Future, 11306 Estona Dr., P.O. Box 1786, Silver Spring, MD 20915, is another option. The "Peace Corps of Trees," this donation-financed group has what is probably the most effective global reforestation program. TF is operating 2,000 village projects around the world, planting more than 10 million trees (in some areas, at a cost of a cent and a half per tree!). A $30 donation will provide enough funding for an entire village's seeds.

Also, there is the Rainforest Action Network, 300 Broadway, Suite 28, San Francisco, CA 94133. This group mans the front line in the war against deforestation. RAN organizes lobbying campaigns and, when necessary, nonviolent blockades to save important rain forests, from Malaysia to Hawaii (where the last lowland tropical rain forest in the U.S. is now being opened up). A $15 (or greater) donation brings you their quarterly World Rainforest Report and periodic "Action Alerts."

Last, if you'd appreciate the inspiration and knowledge that come from learning more about Richard St. Barbe Baker, send $14 to Bountiful Gardens, 19550 Ridgewood Rd., Willits, CA 95490, for their recently published collection of his selected writings, Man of the Trees.
