This 32-page kit, complete with beautiful images of trees in North America, may take a moment to download. You will need the free Adobe Reader to open the PDF. After the document loads, feel free to save it to your hard drive, though check back for future revisions. The MWP toolkit gives a brief overview of the world’s forests, particularly Canadian forests and history, and provides general information about threats to forest lands, including deforestation, climate change, endangered forests issues, and impacts on indigenous peoples.
Proceeds from the sales of Moon Willow’s first e-book, The Little Big Town, resulted in 260 trees planted by Alliance for International Reforestation (AIR), a Guatemala and Nicaragua based planting partner of Eco-Libris: Plant a tree for every book you read.
Eco-Libris’ planting partners include Sustainable Harvest International (SHI)–Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama; RIPPLE Africa (a non-profit organization involved with environmental projects, education, and health care in Malawi, Africa); and AIR. Each of these partners works with areas in the world suffering from deforestation. Eco-Libris’ tree-planting program provides a valued source of sustainable economical and ecological aid to these areas.
