Wondertree Awards Wondertree Awards Given to People who, through lifelong efforts, have made the planet a better place for children ... An award to adults for lifetime achievement in making the planet a healthier, friendlier, safer and happier place. The award is given by Wondertree children on behalf of all children to people who have made the world better for all children to grow up in ... Over the years the youth realized that the people who are working hard to make the planet a more wonderful place would like to know that they are appreciated. We realized that if we made an award that could be given to adults by children it would encourage others to think about making a contribution to future generations. These people are our mentors, they have set out on life's path with the purpose to make the planet better. These awards were given in appreciation of their work.   Recipients (to date):  1.
