Build a Dream House...Then Plant
a Tree...Then Share the Dream with Others
A state forester has pointed out
that if a tree is planted the day
the Dream House is built,
in 20 to 25 years there will be
enough lumber in that tree
to build two more Dream Houses.
The tree planting ritual gives young
children
an opportunity to begin to understand
the connection
between the wood in the Dream House
and its natural source.
It also may provide for all involved
the beginnings
of an environmental sensitivity
so needed in today's world.
As of Spring 2002, 7500 small "Dream
House" trees have
been disributed. The small trees
have been donated and potted
for distribution by high school
students.
