(Gerry Furth-Sides) You can continue to honor Earth Day everyday and double your contribution this holiday. In celebration of Earth month Words with Boards will plant 2 trees instead of 1 for every wooden product sold through our website this month. Actually every day is earth day since all products come from healthy forests where seedlings are planted as trees are felled. Click here to read about our tree planting partnership with One Tree Planted to help the unhealthy forests regrow. A single tree can be home to many species of insects, fungi, mosses, animals and plants. Without trees, forest creatures would have nowhere to live. Trees also provide shelter and food to many wildlife. Help us plant a forest.
