The Kelowna pilot is just the beginning. The national network — Vernon, Penticton, Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto — is being built one conversation at a time. If you'd love to see a living Christmas tree program in your community, let me know. Every response is real market signal that shapes where we grow next.
Whether you sponsor a school tree, make a direct contribution, or simply share this campaign — every action matters. Here's how you can be part of the first season.

The EverPod™ keeps one tree alive and reusable for years. But we want to go further. For every tree sponsored or rented through the Okanagan Evergreen Collective, we plant a new tree in Canada in partnership with Tree Canada — the only national non-profit dedicated to planting and nurturing trees across the country.
A tree that doesn't go to landfill. And a tree that goes in the ground. Two acts of permanence from one sponsorship.
Counter updates as trees are confirmed each season
One sponsorship. A tree that stays. A tree that's planted. Two acts of permanence.
15 trees in Kelowna schools this November. The EverPod™ prototype in hand. A patent in two countries. A founder who has been building toward this moment for twenty years.
The $50,000 is the key. Everything else is what it unlocks.
He's why.
This Christmas, plant something that lasts.
