Help Michigan Forests with Just One Click!
Thank you everyone!
Odwalla has reached their 100,000 tree goal. I'm unable to access the final count of trees for Michigan. If my memory serves me correctly, when I checked it this morning before I posted there were more than 40,000 trees allocated for Michigan. When I can find the final count, I will let you know.

As many of you know, Michigan has the highest unemployment rate in the nation right now and the state budget is getting cut left and right. But there are private companies like Odwalla who are willing to help, and you can too.
Here's how you can help. Go to www.parkvisitor.com/odwalla and vote for Michigan. Park staff will plant the trees. It's that simple.
Here's the details from the Michigan DNR website:
Odwalla is re-running its successful Plant a Tree promotion for 2009, and has DOUBLED the funding they will put towards the trees from $50,000 in 2008 to $100,000 in 2009. Michigan is one of 11 states that will share this money.
How it works:
Each time someone goes to www.parkvisitor.com/odwalla and chooses Michigan, $1 will be added to our state's tree fund. Each computer will only be allowed to participate once. The program will remain open until all funds are used, or until Dec. 31, 2009. The state with the most clicks gets the most dollars! To see how you are doing, click on the Number of Trees Planted tab.
Please go on line and click for Michigan State Park Trees. Feel free to pass this info on to your friends and family and ask them to click too! It only takes a moment. One state park that participated last year received over $20,000. Let's start clicking to replace ash trees lost to the Emerald Ash Borer.
