PENNY for PINES PROGRAM
SAVING FORESTS $68 AT A TIME
NATIONAL GARDEN CLUBS and the USDA Forest Service are proud to have formed a partnership sustaining our national and urban forests through this reforestation/forest education program.
The Weymouth Garden Club participates in this meaningful and practical conservation project by collecting spare change at meetings, when $68.00 has been collected, the WGC Board members vote to select a member who has gone above and beyond for the Club. The funds collected are contributed to a Penny Pines plantation as part of the costs of replanting replacement trees indigenous to a particular damaged area.
Whether by fire or by other natural catastrophe, pine trees and other trees are replaced.
Under a conservation agreement, the forest service will do the planting, using your
donation together with federal funds, and will provide to the plantation the same protection from fires, insects, and disease given other forested areas.
The plantations are a part of the regular national forest reforestation program planted on burned-over and brush-covered areas which are potentially productive timberlands. Planting sites are selected by the supervisor of each national forest. These plantations provide soil protection, watershed protection, soil stabilization, future harvestable timber, as well as beauty and shade for recreation.
States, regions, districts, clubs, and/or individuals may participate
in this program by donating in multiples of $68. A donation may be made
in honor or in memory of an individual, organization or theme.
The Weymouth Garden Club received the Media Production Award from GCFM for the “Changing Seasons” 2022-2023 video, produced by Michelle C. and June F.
