Girl Scout Tree Promise
The Girl Scout Tree Promise aims to do 5 million acts to plant, protect and honor trees. Not only is this great for wildlife, but it’ll also help ease the effects of climate change. Check out the Girl Scout Tree Promise website for more information. (Many of the citizen science projects, below, align with kits now available in many libraries across the country! Learn more about the Citizen Science Library Kits.)
