Millennium Fellowship Project: Growing Together: Trees and Dreams
Trees and Dreams: Growing Together is a tree planting campaign aimed at promoting reforestation and raising climate awareness among high school students, particularly those from marginalized communities. The campaign educates students about the importance of trees and their role in combating climate change. Students learn about the benefits of tree planting and are encouraged to take part in planting trees in their local communities. We have so far planted over 200 drought resistance tree samplings.
