Since 1989, Trees for the Future has been helping communities around the world plant  trees. Through seed distribution, agroforestry training, and their country programs, they  have empowered rural groups to restore tree cover to their lands. Planting trees protects  the environment and helps to preserve traditional livelihoods and cultures for  generations. Trees for the Future is an agroforestry resource center helping people in   developing countries improve their rural livelihoods through the introduction of  environmentally sustainable land management projects focused on beneficial tree planting.
