though it does not sound like a good bargain, it is a great incentive by volvo for owners. it just shows their dedication to the environment. here is the information i received after purchasing our new car:
"Together A Forest Program;
The first 28,000 Volvo owners to register on this website will be helping grow the first Volvo family forest...a Global ReLeaf restoration project in the Payette National Forest.
In June 2006 a tornado touched down near Bear, Idaho and affected approximately 4,336 acres of the Payette National Forest. Most of the blown down area lost between 20-50 percent of its canopy coverage. With the help of Volvo owners like you, the Forest Service will plant 218,000 conifers in 2008 to restore the damaged area located near the town Bear, Idaho. Benefits of the project include watershed restoration, fuels reduction and bark beetle risk reduction. Wildlife that will benefit from rapid reforestation include the northern goshawk, Canada lynx, gray wolf, pileated woodpecker, white-headed woodpecker, elk and the northern Idaho ground squirrel. Council High School is participating in this project by growing conifer seedlings in their greenhouse.
Once the Payette National Forest project is complete, Volvo will choose additional Global ReLeaf projects to sponsor on behalf of our owners."
