When and how was PeaceTrees Vietnam founded?
PeaceTrees Vietnam was founded in 1995 by the family of Daniel Cheney, a young helicopter pilot who died in the Vietnam War in 1969. Its first clearance work and tree-planting mission to Quang Tri Province took place shortly after diplomatic relations between the United States and Vietnam were normalized. The project was spearheaded by the late Danaan Parry, a former physicist who co-founded the Earthstewards Network in 1980, and by his wife, Jerilyn Brusseau, a former restaurateur.
