This year, recipients were all local to the United States, but seedlings have also been sent around the globe. Some past international recipients include Ukraine, in memorial of the casualties from the ongoing war with Russia; the World Health Organization, for its response to the COVID-19 pandemic; and Haiti after the Hurricane Matthew devastation in 2016.
The museum’s president and CEO, Elizabeth L. Hillman says they hope the seedlings "provide the same sense of renewal in these communities as they seek to rebuild after horrific events."
