Regeneration Fund: Support Long Term Thinking and Care

Show your commitment to long-term thinking by supporting three long-term programs.

If you are looking for a way to show others your commitment to work to protect the largest and oldest tree of any kind, your generous donation can have a lasting impact. 

Adopt a Regeneration Plot for the Next Decade: $10,000 (1 of 25 Plots)
Support work to help us restore and protect a regeneration plot until it reaches maturity (typically 3-8 years). Donors will receive geo-coordinates of the plot, monitoring data, photos and stories about work on the plot each year. Donor names will listed on a placard near plot sites to help inspire others to act.  

 

Utah Future Foresters Program: $25,000 per year (1 Per Year)
Aspen are a keystone species of Utah. Aspen Trees like Pando, play a critical role in drought and wildfire control and provide critical habitat for our wildlife. Show your support for work to train natural resource leaders of tomorrow, today. Supporters of this program create a good-paying job in a rural economic development zone, training future conservation leaders using Pando as their learning environment. Future Foresters work full-time in the tree from May to November on protection, monitoring and restoration projects. Donors who support this program will be invited to meet with the “Future Forester” they sponsor for a site tour and to learn about work they do to care for Pando.

Dedicate a Plot in Honor of a Loved One to Support the Pando 10-100 Plan: $75,000 (1 of 100 Plots)
Show your support for long-term thinking and innovations in community forestry by supporting the “Pando 10-100” plan, an aggressive plan to restore and protect 10 acres of Pando each year over the next decade to set Pando on a century long course of growth and sustainability.  Donors at this level will be invited to name a plot of the Pando Tree in honor of their family, friends or a loved one, which will be permanently registered and stored as part of the Pando Living Map Project Public Plot Map. Donor names will also be featured on an honorary placard in Pando’s homeland to inspire others to act. Donors who give at this level, will be invited to take part in a site visit and community forum to learn how their support goes to protect and care for the Pando Tree for generations to come.
