When Christine found at at 4yrs of age that horses could be sold to slaughter and people would eat them in other countries, she vowed to help them escape that fate.  Throughout her lifetime she has held to that solitary mission.

Join Amaryllis and help to change the world for the horses.

SavAtree donated an astonishing $7000.00 of work to clear a heavily wooded acre of land at the Watermill Estate Sanctuary so Jed, Ellie Mae and Sargent could not only have use of the additional property, but really, really enjoy it.  They cleared and perfected this enormous paddock so that it is like a beautiful park now.  The horses are able to walk from their lush pasture into the park-like setting of shelter and mental and physical stimulation.  Really stunning outcome.  Fabulous effort on part of this great company!  Thank you SavAtree!

Donations:

SavATree agrees to provide a cash donation of $25 to any member of a participating community organization that signs up for a complimentary consultation on their landscape. The consultation is a property walk between the arborist and homeowner to review the needs of the trees, shrubs and lawn and to make suggestions as to how SavATree and our subsidiary SavaLawn might be able to help the property reach optimum health and vitality. There is no obligation on the part of the homeowner, other than to walk the property with the arborist.

I can offer an hourly interior design consulting hour at a discounted rate (50% off) of $ 125.00. If people can only afford $ 100.00 it is fine. I have a lots of press and high end clientele including celebrities here in the US and in Europe so  know that I have experience. Appointments should be made directly with me, two weeks in advance so I can plan.

Thank you Valerie!
