5 Fashion Brands that Plant Trees for Environmental Impact

Now that the seasons are changing and there’s a chill in the air, it might be a good idea to give your fall wardrobe a much needed update. Bring on the cozy flannels and vests, earthy tones, and cable-knit sweaters! While we have many amazing fashion business partners, we wanted to highlight a handful who are striving to make a positive impact on our planet. Read on for 5 Fashion Brands that Plant Trees for Environmental Impact.

5 Fashion Partners who are Planting Trees for a greener future:

1. Nikin for cozying up by the fire

On the hunt for cozy beanies, hoodies and socks to keep warm this season? Nikin is a stylish Swiss clothing brand that has a wide range of comfortable and chic options. For extra transparency, you can learn more about each Nikin product from the manufacturer to the materials with FactoryTracker. As one of our oldest partners, Nikin has planted over 1 million trees with One Tree Planted!

2. Lululemon for fall foliage hikes

Need durable athletic wear for your scenic autumn hikes? Lululemon is a fantastic option for all things active wear. From their fan-favourite belt bags and leggings to warm jackets and gloves, Lululemon is actively (no pun intended) working to innovate with more sustainable materials, creating circularity through new guest models and using less water — all while partnering with One Tree Planted.

3. Boyish for weekend ERRANDS

Did you know that the typical pair of denim jeans includes pesticides and insecticides that have been sprayed on the cotton, toxic chemicals used to dye the fabrics and large amounts of water and energy during the production process? Sustainable denim brand Boyish Jeans maintains environmental integrity by using plant-based dyes and recycled water — and plants trees with One Tree Planted to boot!

4. Levi’s for your autumn staples

As an American clothing brand that many of us already know and love, it’s no surprise that Levi’s has been working towards a sustainable future. Aside from planting trees, Levi’s is focusing on using recyclable and renewable materials, reducing water usage and conducting regular energy audits within their manufacturing facilities to keep operations energy efficient.

5. MTH for little tree huggers

Don’t forget about fall clothing for your Little Tree Hugger! Toronto apparel and toy brand MTH plants one tree for every purchase made and offers a wide range of thoughtfully selected clothing for babies and kids. Eco-initiatives also include choosing organic cotton clothing and using recycled materials for all packaging.

Plant Trees Where They're Needed Most

As the need for reforestation is global and ever-changing, we feature where trees are most needed now. This project is currently supporting Longleaf Pine Restoration. Learn more

With your help, we will:

Protect wildlife habitat and increase biodiversity
Restore essential watersheds for soil stability and erosion control
Sequester carbon in the biomass of the forests through climate stability

Overview
Impact
What You Get
Tree Species

Longleaf pine forests are among the most biodiverse in North America and provide habitat for numerous threatened and endangered species. Longleaf pine forests are well-adapted to a warming climate as longleaf pine is a resilient species that is fire-dependent, drought-tolerant, and long-lived. Reforestation of longleaf pine ecosystems- to increase, maintain, and enhance the species- has been identified as a priority area within America's Longleaf Range Wide Conservation Plan. 🌲
Our longleaf pine reforestation project will restore habitats, control soil erosion, and sequester carbon in an effort to stabilize the climate in the area. Not only will wildlife benefit from the clean air and water provided by the planted trees, but the surrounding community will, too. This project will work with a variety of landowners whose responsible forest management and stewardship will only further increase the benefits for species residing on the lands. Some of the most notable species that will benefit from habitat restoration include gopher tortoises, red-cockaded woodpeckers, and eastern indigo snakes.
A personalized tree certificate (see gallery) to say thanks for your donation. We'll also send you updates about our Longleaf Pine Restoration project, so you can track the impact your trees are having on the ground!
We always plant a mix of diverse, native species from local nurseries. This project is working to replenish longleaf forests, so the native species grown in the nurseries will mainly be longleaf pine, but also include shortleaf pine and loblolly pine.
