The Vashon Wilderness Program & Vashon Maury Island Land Trust are collaborating to plant saplings and invest in healthy habitats for our collective future.
When you purchase a sapling for $50, your young tree will be planted in the name of a child along a new trail in the beautiful Paradise Valley on Vashon Island. Our generous donors and VWP families will have an opportunity to come together to plant trees on October 24, 2021.
Over the years, you and the child can each come back to your tree -- together or separately -- to tend it's growth, get to know the creatures that make their home in and among them, cultivate a Sit Spot practice, and so much more. What a meaningful way to help a child fall in love with nature, and witness the growth of healthy a habitat for our next generation of Earth stewards.
We will contact all donors with details on how to join our Planting Party on October 24, 2021. Stay tuned!
