Planting where it matters most
We work with carefully curated projects and partners, and pay close attention to biodiversity, ecosystem resilience, long-term protection, and the people who depend on these landscapes.
One Acre Fund
One Acre Fund is a non-profit organisation founded in 2006 with a bold vision for 2030: to deliver $1 billion in annual impact to 10 million farmers and to plant 1 billion trees along the way. Today, One Acre Fund’s tree programme is one of the world's most mature and rigorously monitored smallholder agroforestry initiatives. Since 2019 they have planted 250 million trees.

It's never just one tree
Reducing CO₂ to protect our climate
Forests are one of our most powerful natural allies in the fight against climate change. They absorb CO₂, store it safely for decades, and release the oxygen we breathe. By carefully monitoring how much carbon a restored forest captures, we can see how well our projects help slow global warming.
It's all about ecosystems and diversity
Biodiversity is the heartbeat of a resilient forest. The more diverse the plants, insects, and animals, the stronger and more balanced the ecosystem becomes. By monitoring biodiversity, we ensure that restoration efforts truly help nature recover. Not by creating monocultures, but by encouraging the return of native species that support wildlife.
Forests depend on caring communities
Healthy forests and thriving communities go hand in hand. Around 1.6 billion people from smallholder farmers to local and Indigenous communities live in or near forests and rely on them in their daily lives. Restoration offers a powerful opportunity to strengthen those communities.
Forests are nature's water managers
Forests are essential for healthy water systems. They help rainwater soak into the ground, recharge aquifers, regulate water flow, and naturally filter pollutants before they reach rivers or communities. They even act as protective buffers during heavy rainfall, reducing floods and slowing down soil erosion.
Healthy soil is the basis for a healthy forest
Land health is at the core of successful restoration. Strong, living soils prevent erosion, support plant growth, and protect landscapes from degradation and desertification. By monitoring land conditions, we can see whether restored areas are regenerating as they should. With richer soil, improved structure, and more resilience over time.
