Re-Foresting The Great Smoky Mountains National Park
As everyone knows the horrific wildfires that devastated 17,904 acres of the national forest, over 2400 buildings were destroyed and countless damaged (including mine), an accredited 14 people perished and over 150 were treated for injuries (including me). So this touches home a little bit.
To be pro active in reforesting The Great Smoky Mountain National Park we are offering a planting program. Thistle Dew! has arranged approval from the Department of Interiors in Washington DC, the Sugarlands Forestry Station and The Department of Natural Resources, forestry division to enter into the National Park and plant indigenous trees to help revitalize the park to its natural splendor and glory.
Trees can live to be hundreds of years old and so Your tree will become a family legacy handed down for generations to come.
Trees can be planted for any reason:
Plant Trees in Celebration or Milestone: Birthdays, Anniversaries, new Births, Divorce, Graduation, New Job, New House, Employee Recognition or just because you want to reforest.
Plant as a memorial for a passed friend, family member or pet.
Honor your loved ones while caring about the environment and replanting our nation’s forests.
Earn merit badges for Scout organizations.
Replanting Our Forests
Our forests. They provide wildlife habitat, natural beauty and recreational opportunities. They filter our air and our water. They are vital to life as we know it. And they need our help. Critical efforts to revitalize forests across the country—and around the globe—are underway to ensure that they live on for future generations, and you can support this important work.
Over the course of 50 years, a single tree can generate $31,250 of oxygen, provide $62,000 worth of air pollution control, recycle $37,500 worth of water, and control $31,500 worth of soil erosion.
Your trees will be silent sentinels, honorable monuments, and for decades to come, active participants in nature's plan.
For $19.95 (+$7 for each additional tree) Thistle Dew! will go to the Great Smoky Mountains and plant your tree. A pic will be taken and the GPS coordinates will be acquired and returned in a card to the gift recipient. They can then locate their tree and follow its growth.
Card will read as such:

Memorial Program
Plant Trees in Memory
A vibrant, beautiful tree benefits everyone in this and future generations and is perhaps the most fitting memorial of all. Planting a tree is an act of direct benefit to all.
It can inspire energy, faith, devotion, and courage and carry forward the name of those memorialized in a living, vital way that grows grander with the years.
This is a great program that allows you to give a living gift to someone who has just lost someone. For $19.95 (+$2 for each additional tree) the Honoree will receive a card that reads like the following and trees will be planted in their honor in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park (we prefer the GSM to try and reforest it after the wildfires that took place on November 28th, 2017).
