OPERATIONAL PRINCIPLES
1. The Cedar Tree Institute shall be firmly grounded in spiritual
traditions. Our organization will reflect this commitment in its
flexibility, its unfolding vision, its projects and its operational
style. It shall work in creative partnership with churches and religious
communities.
2. The Institute will work quietly and modestly. It will not target
mass markets for its services or seek status for itself. It will
seek to serve as a catalyst and resource for improving the quality
of life and environment in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
3. The Institute will own no property and acquire no debt. Ten
percent (10%) of any income after expenses shall be given (tithed)
back to the community.

Biologists
call the thin line of landscape where specific ecological
systems meet, an "ecotone." Such intersections present unique,
often overlooked species of plants and wildlife.
Founded
in 1995, The Cedar Tree Institute, a nonprofit organization,
reflects a similar presence in the areas of mental health,
religion, and the environment. Building collaborative partnerships
between persons and institutions, it sponsors seminars, forums
and workshops along with providing counseling, mediation and
consulting. One third of the services are pro bono.
