Inspiring Conservation
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 better, even if it's just a little bit.

Protecting land through donations
Inspiring Conservation
Founded in the Town of Wake Forest, NC where the Founder and founding board members resided. The board felt the name "Wake the Forest" was both inspirational and fitting for a tree-planting nonprofit. We inspire conservation through volunteerism. We educate the community on the importance of nature conservation.

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.
