So. California Public Radio plants trees
By NFF staffOctober 13, 2009
Southern California Public Radio (89.3 KPCC, 89.1 KUOR and 90.3 KPCV) has joined with the National Forest Foundation to restore California’s National Forests. When donors contribute to SCPR during their fall member drive, they help fund the programming and operations of KPCC, KUOR and KPCV. That’s where most of each contribution goes.
Usually, donors might choose a traditional thank-you gift like a t-shirt or a tote bag, items which cost SCPR money. But, this year, if donors would like to skip the bag or coffee mug, Southern California Public Radio will take that expense and use it to plant trees instead.
The trees that public radio members provide through this partnership will restore National Forests damaged by wildfire, insects, disease and drought. They will be planted in one or more of three Southern California locations: the Angeles, San Bernardino and Cleveland National Forests. The National Forest Foundation will work directly with the U.S. Forest Service to determine the type(s) of native trees appropriate for each planting location.
Donors always have the option to forego the thank-you gift and choose to have their entire contribution go toward radio programming and operations. However, in foregoing the thank-you gift this fall, donors can also choose to help alleviate the critical need to replant California’s burned areas. As with any thank-you gift public radio typically offers, the gift expense usually translates to about 10% of each contribution. Depending on the gift level, in most cases that contribution reserved for forest restoration will pay for several seedlings to be planted.
