Ocelots and jaguarundis need a place to roam in the native sabal palm trees of Texas. Nesting birds and animals on a North Carolina barrier island need protection. Animals of the Arctic, like polar bears and sea ducks, need a safe habitat. What can you do to help? Join Pennies for the Planet!

Pennies for the Planet is a successful nationwide campaign to help critical conservation projects. It’s powered by kids collecting pennies (and nickels, dimes, quarters, and dollars, too!) to help save wild places and wildlife in the United States. Working in groups and troops of all sorts, in school classrooms, with their families, and on their own, kids have turned pennies into a gold mine for wild spaces and wildlife in need of protection.

By raising thousands of dollars for conservation, kids have proven that they care about making the planet cleaner, greener, and wilder.
