We can all agree that planting a tree is a good thing. Wake the Forest Foundation wants to bring good things to our world one tree at a time. We want people to join us planting trees, so we can all contribute to making the world just a little bit better.

Inspiring Conservation

Protecting land through donations

Inspiring Conservation

Founded in the Town of Wake Forest, NC where the founding board members resided, we felt the name was inspirational and fitting. We inspire conservation through volunteerism. We educate the community on the importance of nature conservation.

Protecting land through donations

Do you have land to donate that you wish us to protect?

Reasons to donate land:

To protect the natural environment for the benefit of future generations.
To avoid tax burdens of owning it yourself, but ensure the trees and related ecosystems of the land you care about remain protected.
For a tax deduction. We are 501(c)(3) charity as identified by the IRS.
