Since the 1940s, Trees For Tomorrow (TFT) has offered educational programs to teach students, teachers and the general public about the importance of sustainable forestry. Originally established to reverse the devastation caused by unsustainable logging practices, TFT began focusing its energy on environmental education programs in the 1960s when reforestation in northern Wisconsin was substantially completed.
Over the years, hundreds of thousands of students, teachers and the public, from all walks of life, have come to TFT’s campus to learn about sustainable management of our natural resources. Today, TFT welcomes more than 11,000 visitors to its campus every year from Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan – and around the globe.
Our alumni stories are a huge part of TFT’s history. As part of our 75th anniversary, we invite you to share your story with us, so we can share our historical roots with others.

Danson eloquently sums up the series’ overarching message. “We tell our children, ‘You can do anything you want,’ when they’re growing up. ‘You can be anything. You can do anything. You’re magnificent.’ Why do we stop saying that to ourselves? All of a sudden, we buy into this shelf-life thing. Don’t. Keep your foot on the pedal. Don’t prepare for the end of your life. It’ll come. Just go as fast as you can.”
