The Roots of Love: Why We Plant This image captures the heart—quite literally—of the Plant-a-Tree project. Sitting at the base of an enduring tree, marked naturally with a heart shape, Joey and Dawne Montes share a quiet moment in the golden forest light. Beside them stands a single, young sapling. It represents the beginning of a legacy and the core mission of the project: to nurture new life that will stand as a testament to love and memory long into the future.
