Celebrating children’s creativity
We celebrate children’s creativity in joining Min’s Tree Tenders Challenge — helping them feel proud of their care for trees and the planet.
You don’t need to upload anything right now. Just register to become part of the clan and receive Minisms — Min’s small notes of wonder, tree facts, and eco-challenges for children and classrooms.
A letter to you from Min
Dear Parent, Guardian, or Teacher,
I’m so excited that you’ve helped your child or students join my Tree Tenders Challenge. The more Tree Tenders there are, the more trees and ecosystems we can protect.
Thank you for nurturing their curiosity about trees—and for guiding them to take small, caring actions.
You’ll receive Minisms from time to time—tiny letters from me with ideas, stories, and ways to grow a greener world.
When your Tree Tenders are ready, they can share a drawing, story, or photo of what they’ve done. I’ll flutter by again then, with a badge or certificate to thank them.
Sending you leaves of love, Min
