Their Future
We asked nine four and five year-olds to answer the question: "What would a world look like with few trees and with many trees?" They expressed themselves with bright bold acrylic paint and words to make us all think. Take a look at the inspiring, cute, and sometimes funny results.

"The opportunity to express the values we share as a community at London Bridge Child Care with Reforest London and the Million Tree Challenge has been amazing! In our work we see everyday the insight and wisdom of children that we as adults often lose sight of. Children are not only citizens of the future, they are citizens today, and they have lots to tell us about making their community safe, happy, and healthy." ~Sylvia Curtis-Norcross
