A contributor to improved household income and living standards
A driver of positive environmental outcomes at the local level

Tracking from Nursery to Forest
Tree planting is managed end to end – from nursery to field.
Seedlings are grown in-house and planted in partnership with local farmers. Each planting site and partner is recorded in a digital system and displayed on an interactive map, allowing supporters to view planting locations and visualize progress.
