planting america

so these two college students are biking across the u.s. and have a goal of planting 1,000,000 trees...

they're looking for volunteers to, not only help them plant trees, but to organize the community and help to provide food, water and housing for their stay. to find out if they'll be coming to (or near) your hometown, check out the itinerary for their trip...

if they won't be coming to where you live, they will send you free seeds to plant yourself...

I ordered some! Im excited for them to come!
They wont be coming any where near me!
Can we order more than 1 tree type?

they're not coming near me either (not even to my state). was hoping they were. i thought it would be fun. although there is a local organization that does plant trees on a regular basis.

i don't see why you couldn't order more than one type. i think you just have to make sure it's something that will grow where you live. maybe you could organize with a local group or organization (doesn't even have to be an environmental group) to help you with all the planting.
