Scam!!!First of all I donated trees as a gift and highly doubt they were ever planted in a forest in need".SECOND AND MOST IMPORTANT:Once they have your contact info be prepared to be harassed by endless emails and "tree surveys",that WASTE VALUABLE PAPER!!I have begged them to cease ALL communication yet they persist months after my requests.Horrid business.Truly sketchy.

Providing only the best of kindling! What a total scam. I ordered over 300 trees/bushes/plants in 2022. They conveniently didn't ship them forever and when they finally arrived they were a bad joke. One box had 2 dwarf apple trees that were snapped clean in half IN THE BOX! I don't even know how you do that. The other plants had half of them with the root gel loose all over the inside of the box and the roots all dessicated. I asked repeatedly for replacements, but, being the scam charity they are, they failed to live up to their guarantee. Please, save your money and, literally, get your plants anywhere else. As far as I'm concerned, anyone who actually donates to this is helping to perpetuate a fraud. Go elsewhere!

Terrible company! They sent us the wrong and dead trees and we spent months trying to get them to correct the issue. Still no trees. DO NOT BUY TREES HERE! They advertise that they are trying to help the planet but this is one of the worst companies I’ve ever had to deal with. We were just trying to do something good and have been regretting it ever sense.

BEWARE - THEY ARE A SCAM!!! I donated to Arbor Foundation but never received anything. I emailed them BUT NEVER GOT A RESPONSE. I shared my concern on their chat line, but never got a resolve. I thought it was a great idea and a way to help the earth giving everyday people to plant trees and to send money to help get more trees planted around the world. BUT now... I think THIS IS JUST A SCAM. Maybe it started out with good intentions, but it certainly isn't Never got the promised tree starts and no help or even attempt to make things right when I notified them. I would have happily donated every year and put forth the effort to plant more trees on my 4 acres, but I will spend my money elsewhere and do it on my own. I'm sad they are not the real deal.

Got my trees. All dried out & dead. Sent email to them. Never got a reply

I would leave zero stars if I could, because that’s how many trees I received from them. Order was supposed to be shipped 5/13/24, the USPS tracking STILL says it is awaiting the package. I emailed several times, including screenshots. I even stated to them in the last email I felt as if I was being scammed. Finally got a response apologizing and they reordered them and the estimated ship date is 11/8/24 to 12/23/24. I’m not sure how I’m supposed to plant these in the winter-smh. This is a total scam of an organization!!!

Complete scam! Ordered for several years, got mostly dead sticks in the mail. Maybe 1 out of 10 survived after years of care. Ordered from a legitimate nursery instead, with a 90% success rate. This company kills more trees with it's junk mail than it ever replenishes.

I have donated and ordered items from ArborDay Foundation. All "trees" were dead sticks, not dormant bareroot plants - that would have required them having roots. When I contacted them, they claimed that I didn't care for them properly. All of my trees and plants do well - except the ones from ArborDay because they were already DEAD. Someone needs to investigate this organization. While it is a great cause, it doesn't seem to be actually producing live trees. I am now concerned that my donations are just going into someone's pocket.
