Calling all Peanuts® lovers and tree enthusiasts. In honor of the 50th anniversary of the classic Peanuts® special, It's Arbor Day, Charlie Brown, we’ve partnered with Lee Mendelson Film Productions to grow impact in forests of need.

🌲💚Happy International Day of Forests! 💚🌳
It’s no coincidence that International Day of Forests also falls around the first day of spring, the season of renewal. This year’s theme – forests and economies – celebrates the essential ways forests drive economic prosperity and reminds us that healthy communities begin with resilient, thriving natural landscapes. Canada’s forests shape our health, our environment, and our economy. Just as each spring brings new life to Canada’s forests, your generosity helps them thrive, year after year.
Be a part of that renewal with a donation today. https://t.co/qEleSfYqRO
