Australia
One Dollar. One Tree.
With over 123 million hectares of unique and varied native forests, Australia has the seventh largest forest area in the world, making up 3% of the Earth's forests. Learn more
With your help, we will:
- Create habitat corridors for koalas
- Promote Australia's native biodiversity
- Restore areas affected by bushfires
- Australia's forests range from ancient Gondwana rainforest and tropical mangroves to extensive bush lands made up of native acacia, melaleuca and eucalyptus trees. Your donation will help to plant millions of trees across Australia to recover forests affected by the 2019-20 Black Summer Bushfires and restore native habitat vital for wildlife.
As tree planting costs are higher in Australia, these projects often utilize blended financing. Your dollar goes to the tree itself, and we collaborate with our amazing partners to ensure it's planted, maintained and monitored the right way.
- By planting trees in Australia, you're creating habitat corridors for koalas in New South Wales and Victoria, enhancing biodiversity in Western Australia, and promoting sustainable and regenerative agriculture practices with landowners. Our bushfire recovery efforts are focused on re-establishing habitat and supporting fire-impacted communities to grow and plant millions of trees. As tree planting costs are high in Australia, your dollar will often go to the tree itself, and we collaborate with awesome partners to ensure the trees are planted and maintained the right way. We also support direct seeding projects in areas where this is ecologically appropriate, which allows for cost-effective restoration at scale.
- A personalized tree certificate (see gallery) to say thanks for your donation. We'll also send you updates on our Australia projects, so you can track the impact your trees are having on the community and environment.
- Our partners choose native trees that will bring the greatest overall benefit to the ecosystem and region. This includes various types of native trees and companion plants. Depending on the specific needs of each section of habitat being restored, native trees may include Acacia, Banksia, Eucalyptus, Melaleuca, and many other native species.

About Australia
The combination of low precipitation and record high temperatures during Australia’s most recent (2019–20) summer season, resulted in dramatic wildfires across the country that drew global attention. It is estimated that more than 1 billion animals were killed in the fires. For example, some 8,000 koalas may have perished in last year’s bushfires, and the loss of eucalyptus trees and water supply will continue to affect them as recovery slowly starts to take place. About 30% of their key habitat has been destroyed.
Australia’s forests need active management in order to improve their health, protect wildlife, and reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires in the future. Our projects work with local landowners and environmental organizations to improve the health of Australian forest and bush lands. As well as recovering fire-damaged lands, your support for reforestation in Australia will help restore habitat for native species that depend on these environments, such as koalas, echidnas, sugar gliders and other wildlife found nowhere else in the world.
Why Plant in Australia?
Protect Wildlife
Restoring forests also means restoring habitat critical to conserving Australia's unique wildlife. Healthy forest ecosystems support higher biodiversity and are more resilient to the stressors of climate change.
Restore Native Forests
Reforestation efforts assist native vegetation in growing back, while also improving soil quality, preventing erosion, and controlling invasive species - which can be particularly aggressive after forest fires without intervention.
Reduct the Impact of Bushfires
Help us prevent bushfires in Australia from spreading catastrophically. Young, healthy forests can help suppress future wildfires and reduce the impact of smoke on public health and native ecosystems..
