A Web site called “The Grove” has been launched by the Georgia Urban Forest Council and the Georgia Forestry Commission “to engage and encourage Georgia’s citizens to plant trees and help protect Georgia’s urban tree canopy.”

A tip from a Sustainable Savannah reader suggests that one appeal of the site is its social networking function:

“The Grove allows members to create a profile, post stories and upload pictures of tree planting experiences that can be shared with friends and family. This site celebrates families that come together, both on and offline, to ensure their descendants live in a healthy urban forest, as well as strengthen the bonds of current family ties as they improve the communities where they live.”
