Planting Sacred Seeds
This guide invites individuals and communities of all faiths and spiritual understandings to connect with planting and caring for trees as an expression of their deepest values and as practices that reflect compassion, justice, reverence, and interconnection with all life.

Branches of Faith Facilitator Guide
This guide is a compilation of practical resources created in collaboration with partners in the Branches of Faith tree equity project. As a stand-alone resource or as a complement to these documents which explore tree equity ministry in broader detail, this is an integrated guide for Christian partners and facilitators that explores the varied ways trees and tree equity can be a life-giving ministry of the Church as well as a faith-deepening offering for the congregation. We encourage you to use this document like a field guide for exploring how tree equity and creation care ministry can nurture wellness and wholeness in every sense!

While these resources were created for the Branches of Faith coalition, our hope is that they might be useful to all spiritual communities interested in planting trees as part of their ministries.

Testimonials
I am constantly in a state of awe, wonder, doubt and unsure of how best to use this "one wild and precious life". Being involved with your efforts along with my contemplative pockets of time are the moments I feel I’m doing the right thing.
