4H Million Trees Challenge

4-H Million Trees
The 4-H Million Trees Project was conceived after a Pacifica 4-Her decided to do something big to help combat global climate change. The goal of this project is to mobilize the approximately 7 million 4-H youth across the U.S. and Canada to participate in this project to plant 1,000,000 trees across the continent to help reduce atmospheric CO2. Clubs outside of the U.S. and Canada are also invited to participate.

Take a look at this amazing challenge!



Currently there is no one listed in Texas!
Premont Cactus 4-H could be the first!!!!!!
