Healthy Planet
We are on a mission to plant more trees and protect existing habitats.
From local greenspace initiatives to broader forestation and conservation programs, the Life Time Foundation is committed to partnering with nonprofit organizations to provide more opportunities for children and their families to learn about the environment, reconnect with nature, and improve the health of the world they inherit.
