Our tree planting partners!
Our non profit tree planting partners plant native species worldwide through established networks of family farmers, volunteers, and recognized programs insuring that trees are not only planted, but cared for as well.
We are 100% replanted
100% replanted is a program that is near and dear to us here at Advice for Life. For 20 years we have replanted trees for every pound of paper used in our company - from office paper, paper used in our production, packaging materials, etc. We have replanted for what we use!

PROJECT LEARNING TREE
Project Learning Tree uses trees and forests as windows on the world to increase students’ understanding of the environment and actions they can take to conserve it. Since 1976, PLT has reached 138 million students and trained 765,000 educators to help students learn how to think, not what to think about complex environmental issues.
Project Learning Tree helps develop students’ awareness, knowledge, and appreciation of the environment, builds their skills and ability to make informed decisions, and encourages them to take personal responsibility for sustaining the environment and our quality of life that depends on it. From its beginnings in 1976, PLT has exemplified high-quality environmental education.
Our partnership has led to the creation of great new resources and products, discounted materials for teachers across the country, co-created curricula, and green fundraising for schools!

NATIONAL PARKS
What is the last national park you visited? Did you see Advice for Life in the association bookstore/gift shop? We have been working with nonprofit park associations for over 15 years to create Advice that shares the beauty of each park and educates visitors what is so special about these treasured places. The National Park Service (NPS) works closely with nonprofit park associations that have a mission to provide educational and interpretive products and programs to YOU! These associations operate shops and raise money to give back to each park.
Here are a few of our park partners!
