Cedar Tree Foundation

The Cedar Tree Foundation "is a small family fund created by the late pediatrician and entrepreneur, Dr. David H. Smith. Dr. Smith believed in the power of individuals and organizations to make significant changes in our world, and that view is reflected in our grant making...

"The Cedar Tree Foundation also runs the David H. Smith Conservation Research Fellowship Program, providing post-doctoral fellowships in conservation biology, in partnership with the Society for Conservation Biology."
