“As my forefathers planted [trees] for me so I too plant for my children.” – The Talmud (Ta’anis 23).
The Story of the Forest for the Future
In 2017, Shoresh began a 20-acre reforestation project, planting 11,000 trees in Bela Farm’s Forest for the Future. Our Forest for the Future will leave future generations a beautiful native forest where they can connect to themselves, the earth, and Jewish tradition. It will also mitigate the harmful effects of excess carbon dioxide and restore important wildlife habitat.
Adopt a Tree
Adopt a tree in our growing forest to contribute to its ongoing maintenance and to invest in a sustainable future. Our Adopt a Tree program offers a tangible way to mark births, B’nei Mitzvahs, graduations, weddings, and passings of loved ones.
- Adopt one native tree in our Forest for the Future: $54
- Adopt three native trees: $162
- Adopt five native trees: $270
- Adopt ten native trees: $540
- Customize your donation to contribute to the longevity of our Forest for the Future.
Shoresh will email a tree adoption certificate to the honoured individual or their family acknowledging your gift. Please make sure to fill out the form completely and include any additional message you would like us to include. Each tree adoption is recorded in Shoresh’s Book of Life.
Adopting a tree supports the implementation of Shoresh’s annual Climate Action Plan. Shoresh is leading the way for our local Jewish institutions by signing onto Adamah’s Climate Leadership Coalition, creating our own action plan for our organization and community. Stay tuned for more details.
