Trees for Life is a tradition of distributing trees in honor of each Louisiana child who died the prior year as a result of abuse.This year, 31 trees will be given to recipients who are asked to plant, nurture, and hang a blue ribbon around the tree each April in remembrance of a child who died in Louisiana of abuse.At the event, community members gather to honor these children and commit to prevention strategies that will strengthen families and prevent future harm to children.Trees for Life began in 2006 after Hurricane Katrina, memorializing the innocent lives lost due to abuse while giving rebirth to our storm-devastated community.This year’s event will be held on Earth Day, Wednesday April, 22, 2015. For more pictures and information about our organization please like us on Facebook: Facebook.com/NOCAC
