Penny Pines
The Penny Pines Program was initiated in California in 1941. It started small. Under the sponsorship of the San Francisco Sportswomen's Association in 1941 and succeeding years, school children of the San Mateo County Schools made the first contribution used for reforestation on the Shasta-Trinity National Forests in northern California. Over the years, the number of the groups participating in the Penny Pines Program has continued to grow.
