Plant a Tree

Plant a tree in honor or memory of a loved one

Cultivate seeds of hope that will last a lifetime: Plant a tree in the highlands of Guatemala in memory or honor of a loved one or friend while supporting local communities. Trees will be planted in the Labor San José in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala. The reforestation project is financially supported by ICA Language Schools. The project is coordinated by Guatemalans and addresses the needs of the community.

The project began in 1989 in response to high rates of deforestation, erosion, excessive logging, and forest fires.

The tree is one of several varieties: alder, cypress, pine, or eucalyptus. The seedlings will be planted by local and international volunteers. Learn more about the project here.

The cost is $15 per tree. Please email ghrc-usa@ghrc-usa.org or call (202) 529-6599 to order trees. Supply name and address of the person for whom the tree will be planted, whether it is in memory or honor, and a payment method.
