With your help, we will:

  • Due to historic deforestation, only 14.5% of the land area in Denmark is forested. Our respected on-the-ground partner will work with 550 landowners to get 1 million trees planted on over 350 hectares of land to benefit the climate, biodiversity, and the local community. This project is part of a nationwide effort to grow Denmark's forest cover to 25% by 2100 and will establish a multi-functional woodland on marginal farmland in western Jutland. The best part? It will be protected in perpetuity by the Danish Forest Act.
  • The new forests will absorb carbon, protect biodiversity, preserve groundwater, and fix nitrogen to reduce wetland eutrophication (when a body of water becomes overly enriched with minerals and nutrients, causing an algae bloom + suffocating aquatic life). A conservation area will be established for the threatened hazel dormouse and will provide rich habitat for native birds and insects.

    The local community will benefit from the many recreational opportunities afforded by the woodland, as well as an exciting "school in the forest" initiative that will provide educational opportunities for generations to come.
  • A personalized tree certificate (see gallery) to say thanks for your donation. We’ll also send you updates on our Denmark project, so you can track the impact your trees are having on the community and environment.
  • To maximize the impact of your donation, our awesome partner, a team of skilled local foresters, has selected a mix of over 25 native species, including varieties of alder, oak, ash, fir, pine, spruce, and larch.

PROTECT BIODIVERSITY

This planting includes the establishment of a wildlife conservation area, specifically for the threatened hazel dormouse. It will also provide rich habitat for the many unique bird and insect species that call Denmark home.

SUPPORT EDUCATION

Another exciting part of this project is the allotment of a Children's Forest, to be used for "Forest School" lessons and field trips. This will provide educational opportunities to the local community for generations to come.

IMPROVE WATERSHEDS

Planting trees will protect Denmark's vital watersheds by preserving groundwater and preventing wetland eutrophication. That way, Denmark's aquatic life will have plenty of access to the oxygen they need!
