About us: The goal of the STOP GE Trees Campaign is to work with forest dependent communities to protect native forests from the uncontrollable and irreversible threats posed by the release of genetically engineered trees (GE trees or GM trees) into the environment. Please support this important work with a donation.
Urgent Alert: Help us STOP
Genetically Engineered (GE) Eucalyptus Trees!
GE Tree Company ArborGen has been given permission by the USDA to plant 260,000 GE eucalyptus trees across seven states in the U.S. South (Texas, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and South Carolina). If you live in one of those states and want to get involved in the campaign to stop socially and ecologically destructive GE eucalyptus from being grown there, please contact us.
