About Us
Our Mission
At Wake the Forest Foundation we strive to spread conservationism through volunteerism. We raise money to purchase native trees and we plant them on protected lands. We plant trees to try to make the world better.
Wake the Forest Beginning
Wake the Forest Foundation was founded in Wake Forest, NC by Chad Perry and a small but passionate group of board members who shared a simple but powerful vision: to preserve and protect our trees and serve our communities. Our name, Wake the Forest, reflects our work, by planting trees we are awakening the forest.
