Svetlana, from Clear Springs Elementary School in Minnetonka, Minnesota, received this little tamarack tree back in 2013 when she was in the 3rd grade.
Her little “twig” is now bigger than her!
We love seeing our babies grow up together!

Then and Now – Mollie of Minneapolis, Minnesota
Mollie received this little white pine back in 2010 (our inaugural year) when she was in kindergarten at Lake Harriet Lower Elementary in Minneapolis. She planted her little tree with her parents at Grandpa’s cabin.
Now a freshman in college, Mollie and her tree are doing great!
Progress.
Then and Now – Olivia of Scandia, Minnesota
Olivia planted this northern white cedar when she was 11 years old.
5 years later, both Olivia and her tree are thriving.
“We are so grateful that you are doing the program and continuing to hand out trees to kids. When they can see them grow and know that they were the ones who planted the little seedling – it’s an empowering position for them to be in. They can see that they are making a difference for the environment and for the wildlife who uses the trees for shelter and/or a resting place.”
