The UN has declared 2011 at the International Year of Forests. Organizations around the world have been hosting events celebrating the Year, and opening up dialogues about the sustainable management of forests.

At IKEA, we are working with American Forests in the month of October to plant trees across the United States. When you visit your local IKEA, you will be invited at check-out to donate $1 to the effort. Contributions at your local IKEA will be funnelled to projects in your surrounding area, letting you contribute to the “greening of your own back yard.”
In Minnesota, the Global ReLeaf Project currently in progress is the Spruce Salvage Restoration Project in Chippewa National Forest. Read about it, and other American Forest ReLeaf projects in the state here.
At IKEA we believe in the power of trees. They are the "green machines" cleaning our air and water, and stabilizing our soil. Start the greeing of your neighborhood today!
