One Tree Planted is Getting Wild with Nature this Valentine's Day

Ifyou've been following along with One Tree Planted for a while now, you probably know that we like to do things a little differently. Don't get us wrong, we LOVE all the roses, candy (fair trade of course), and pink hearts. But this year, we're channeling our wild sides and encouraging you to give the gift of wood! We're talking about gifting trees you animals! Okay, now that we have your attention, we're going to show you what we REALLY mean. And if you haven't picked up an eco-friendly gift for your sweetheart yet, we've got you covered.

Like many holidays, Valentine's Day can be pretty wasteful. And that's where we come in: not only is gifting a tree the perfect eco-friendly gift idea, it's also a super unique gift that's sure to delight any recipient. While the campaign is best suited for an adult audience, the e-cards we provide are versatile enough that you can gift a tree to anyone from your sweetheart to your grandma. There are several templates t0 choose from and you can include a custom message too. And of course, the option to plant trees all over the world in honor of your Valentine!

It Doesn't End There...

In addition to our awesome tree planting e-cards, a One Tree Planted campaign wouldn't be complete without engaging videos and fun educational assets. We wanted to find the balance between naughty and nice with an impactful call to action of planting a tree. 

Get Wild with Naughty Nature on Social Media

If you've been following us for a little while now, Naughty Nature might sound familiar. Last year we published the blog post, Naughty Nature: 9 Ways Nature will make you Blush on Valentine's Day. And not only did we revive the post, we've also been sharing captivating mini-stories on social media. These highlight some of nature's naughtiest moments from pine cone sex to how the heck dolphins manage to "do it" in the water! We really hope this gives you a chuckle, and you might just learn something along the way, because it is all 100% ecologically accurate. 

We're releasing one new naughty nature video each day until Valentine's so if you aren't following us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter be sure to head over to your favorite platform and give us a follow so you don't miss out on the fun!

So there you have it! We hope we didn't make you blush TOO much. We wish you a happy Valentine's Day filled with love, sustainability, and nature. 

And don't forget to gift a tree for your honey. You can send them an e-card, or send it to yourself to print and share in person with a hug. Even if you're not a Valentine's Day kind of person, nature will definitely appreciate the love!

Gift Trees

Gift a tree in someone's name as a heartfelt and everlasting way to show your appreciation. These trees will support AFR100, the African Forest Landscape Initiative! Choose an image below, write your message, choose a delivery date and gift a tree. Learn more

By gifting a tree, you will help to:

  • Provide jobs to minimize poverty in local communities
  • Improve climate change resilience & mitigation
  • Restore forest cover to improve food security
  • Give the gift of trees! Trees are an environmentally-friendly option that helps to create a healthier planet. These trees will be planted to support AFR100 with TerraFund. As Africa is on a mission to reverse these trends and restore 100 million hectares of land by 2030, this country-led effort will restore 100 million hectares of land by 2030. This restoration work aims to enhance food security, increase climate change resilience and mitigation and combat rural poverty. This work will revolve around 32 participating countries in Africa, along with local communities, national governments, public and private sector partners, and international development programs.
  • Planting trees in Africa reaps multiple benefits! Notably, reforestation here will help to add nutrients to the soil and control erosion, minimize poverty within local communities through the creation of jobs, and improve food security by feeding impoverished families through the planting of fruit trees. Ultimately, added forest cover in this region will diminish pressure on remaining forests, allowing biodiversity to flourish and ultimately helping with the global climate crisis.
  • Both you and the giftee will receive a personalized tree certificate (see gallery) with the recipient's name to thank you for your donation. The giftee will get a custom e-card created by you on your date of choice. We will also send you updates about this project, so you can track the impact your trees are having on the community and environment.
  • We will plant an array of indigenous tree species throughout Africa, such as Senegalia polyacantha, Faidherbia albida, Albizia adianthifolia, Persea americana, Calliandra calothyrsus, Macadamia spp., shea, and mahogany. Fruit trees will also be planted, which include mango, orange, tangerine, avocado, apple, guava, and Brazil nut.
