The California reforestation project will take place in Healdsburg and Usal, California. Trees will be planted to restore the land after the Walbridge Fire of 2020, which burned over 55,000 acres, as well as to support biodiversity through the recovery of conifer species after historical overcutting.

Benefits include local job creation, prevention of soil erosion into local streams and salmon habitat, and the re-establishment of environmental public trust values. In all cases, forest stewardship in these projects is guided by a nonindustrial forest management plan, which is rigorously examined by numerous state agencies including the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, the Water Quality Control Board, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the California Geological Survey.

The Andes reforestation project is the first multi country, large scale, grassroots initiative to restore the high altitude native forests of South America's high Andes. The overall objective is to restore 1 million hectares of high Andean forests across 6 countries over the next 25 years.

The trees planted here will help restore wetlands, safeguard existing forest, and protect critical Amazon headwaters. Working with local and indigenous communities, the seeds are collected from nearby Polylepis forests and grown in community nurseries. Once ready, they're planted on designated lands to expand existing forests, or to seed new ones in historically deforested areas.

The Haiti reforestation project is helping to control erosion, provide safe water supply, and stabilize forestry within eight micro-watersheds across the country of Haiti.

A watershed – the land area that drains to a stream – is important to the overall physical and socio-economic health of local communities due to their roles in protecting water quality through filtration and providing carbon storage among many other benefits. The trees planted here will help protect communal water sources, support the local economy, and maintain crop livelihood. This project will also continue to support mangrove restoration to champion a “ridge to reef” vision.

Our tree planting project in Brazil is located in the Serra da Mantiqueira region in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, critical to the conservation of water in the the São Paulo state and benefitting several municipalities in the surrounding area.

This forest biome is considered a “hotspot” of biodiversity while only 13% of the original forest remains, further emphasizing the necessity for restoration. The goals and long-term benefits include improvement of the quality and quantity of water in the watershed, increased habitat and ecological corridors for local fauna, and carbon sequestration.There will also be a positive social impact for nearby communities of landowners, seed collectors, and organizations.

The Fagaras Mountains are the highest mountains of the Southern Carpathians, also known as the Romanian Alps. They offer extraordinary views of the carved glaciers and surrounding forests. Sadly, significant swaths of forest were cut down during the period of 2005-2015.

Our Romania reforestation project will focus on restoring forest biodiversity through native species including Beech, Fir, Spruce, Elm, Mountain Ash, and Pine trees. This will help re-establish the natural forest composition already adapted to future climate change, and restore the forest floor where erosion has previously caused a loss of topsoil resulting in negative consequences for river dwelling fauna. This project will also provide economic opportunities for the local community.
