Let’s plant
new trees
A warming planet threatens our way of life. As an efficient, inexpensive source of carbon capture, trees can be a major part of the solution to mitigate the effects of climate change.
Inequality and anxiety wreak havoc on our most vulnerable neighborhoods. As calming canopies, trees can be defenders that provide a sense of inclusivity and well-being.
Deforestation contributes to hundreds of species becoming endangered. As a keystone element in any ecosystem, trees can be the catalyst that nurtures biodiversity in every new forest.
It took us 50 years to plant nearly 500 million trees. This time, we’re going to do it again in a few short years. We deliberately chose a tough goal to meet the tough challenges of our time. With our vast network of planting partners and a science-based approach, we’re able to scale our efforts and focus on the areas where trees are needed most.
We’ve strategically placed nearly 500 million trees in over 50 countries. We know exactly which type of tree thrives in every kind of soil to ensure our trees are resilient and provide benefits for several lifetimes.
From tropical forests to winter pines, if there’s a corner of the world that needs our help, we know what to do. And we know the lasting impact of trees planted in just the right places.
Whether they need to pack sunscreen or umbrellas, our network is ready to move in every season. And considering the climate, there has never been a greater time for trees.
We look for where we can do the most good. From disaster recovery to ecosystem resilience, community value to global climate, we aim to solve and have the trees to tackle whatever needs addressing.

We have an ambitious goal to plant 500 million trees in the next five years with a focus on areas of greatest need. But how do we identify regions where planting will have the most impact? Learn how we use data to drive our focus.

Trees are a powerful way to make neighborhoods and cities more liveable places. But not everyone has equal access to trees. See how using trees as a tool in environmental justice work takes a combination of local knowledge, community preferences, and science.
