a message from the president

“We can all reach for the stars in our own way.  We just need a little inspiration to do it.  The beauty of the Moon Trees is that they stand tall as a living, breathing symbol of accomplishment.  Moon Trees inspire the youth to technological achievement, while conserving our earth’s finite resources.  Help our mission to achieve a Moon Tree in every corner of the world - not because it is hard, but because it is easy!”
