Letters to the Future

Your words have roots. Write a letter to future forests, future generations, future salmon — to the Earth that will live long after us.

What will you leave behind?

Restoration work is an act of faith. When we plant a tree, remove invasive species, or stabilize a shoreline, we are writing a letter — one that takes decades or centuries to be read.


This campaign invites Corpsmembers, volunteers, donors, and youth to put those words into words. A letter is a promise. It is accountability. It is hope made tangible.


Letters submitted through this campaign will be collected, shared publicly (with your permission), and included in EarthCorps' annual storytelling.

Our work is rooted in the present — but it grows toward a future we believe in.

Choose Your Recipient

Every letter is an act of love and accountability. Pick the recipient that speaks to your heart.

🌱

Future Generations

What do you want the children of 2075 to know about why you showed up? What did you protect? What do you hope they find still standing?

🌲

Future Forests

Write to the trees that haven't grown yet — the natives planted in cleared hillsides, the canopy returning to urban neighborhoods. Tell them what you did for them.

🌊

Future Salmon

Salmon carry the memory of watersheds. Write to the runs we are working to restore — acknowledge what was lost and what is being reclaimed, stream by stream.

🌎

The Earth in 50 Years

Address the planet itself. Name what you love. Acknowledge the damage. Make a promise. The Earth has been patient — tell it what you are doing in return.

Rooted in restoration, growing leaders

EarthCorps cultivates leaders and community partnerships to advance environmental justice. Every letter written here is rooted in real work happening on the ground.

01

Restore Land

EarthCorps crews restore forests, shorelines, wetlands, and watersheds — removing invasive species, planting natives, and protecting water quality for the communities and creatures that depend on them.

02

Grow Leaders

Through paid service and hands-on skill-building, EarthCorps trains the next generation of environmental leaders — people who carry this work back to communities around the globe.

03

Build Resilience

We bring people together to take meaningful action. Through volunteer programs, Tribal partnerships, and shared learning, we connect people to land, to each other, and to a climate-resilient future.

"EarthCorps envisions an equitable world where all people and nature thrive together." Letters to the Future is our invitation for you to imagine it alongside us.
