Bridging the Generations

One week old pine trees for Pine Ridge

With winter upon us, tree planting is currently in a holding pattern until the warmer weather returns. However, we are getting our spring trees ready thanks to the help of our friends at the Colorado State Forest Service Nursery. They have sprouted almost 30,000 Ponderosa Pines for us, which is twice as many as last year! The seedlings will make their homes on the Pine Ridge Reservation in late April/early May in a 20,000 acre burned by fire.

Not only are we setting our goal high for this coming season, but your support for our Tribal Reforestation program has been so enthusiastic that we are looking to branch out (get it?!) to other Native American Reservations. With the excellent videography of Vision Maker Media, we have produced "Bridging the Generations," an informative and inspiring video about our community reforestation efforts on the Pine Ridge and Rosebud Reservations in South Dakota. We hope it will spread the word about our program, and ultimately, help other tribes develop similar reforestation efforts.
