Revisit the Global Forest Change Map created by the University of Maryland. Open the map and choose "loss/extent/gain" from the drop down menu to view the locations where forests occur and to see those areas where forested areas have been lost or gained in a 12-13 year period.  Zoom in on the location where you live.  Determine the state of the forests near you.  Are they growing, shrinking, or staying the same?

Discover the changes you can make in your daily life to help save trees by reading these tips from the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Healthy Schools Network and learning more about paper consumption on the Green Schools website.

Consider volunteering to help plants trees or plan your own community tree planting project.  Visit the Arbor Day Foundation's website for materials on getting started.
