This post is simply to offer the people around the globe, who helped an idea grow into a project that became a non-profit supporting the LIFE of the rainforest more stories. The iGiveTrees organization closed at the end of June 2025.

AND, new inspirations are arriving for ways to maximize the benefits of what occurred in the past, as well as what’s possible in the future. As a first step, I’m bringing this site back to life. Please be patient as the rebuild occurs, the stories pour out and offers are created for ways you can support new growth.

We are determined to continue sharing the stories of the rainforests, focusing always on the most hopeful news we can find. One member of the Brazilian iGiveTrees team was present for COP30. and I’m looking forward to sharing his views here after we speak. I’ve heard and read perspectives from a few different vantage points so far, and am digesting it all before labeling with any opinions!
