Global Restoration
How We Restore Forests
Rooted in care. Fuelled by community.
Designed for long-term impact.
Why It's Important to Plant Trees
Healthy forests are the lungs, roots, and refuge of our planet. And now more than ever, the Earth needs trees — lots of them.
Trees clean our air, cool our cities, protect our water, and anchor rich ecosystems that support both human and non-human life. From shelter and soil to food, medicine, and biodiversity, they sustain the balance that life depends on. Planting trees isn’t just a feel-good action — it’s one of the most powerful, regenerative tools we have to restore the health of our planet and build a more livable future for all.
Our Approach: Responsible Reforestation
We don’t just plant trees — we restore ecosystems. Every restoration project is grounded in science, community collaboration, and long-term care.
Here’s how we do it:
1. We Plant the Right Trees
All our plantings use native, biodiversity-supporting species suited to each region’s ecology. Seeds and saplings are sourced through trusted local nurseries, community seed banks, and partner organizations to ensure genetic diversity and ecosystem fit.
2. We Wait for the Right Moment
Timing matters. We plant according to seasonal rhythms or ecological cues specific to each region. From soil preparation and removing invasive species to ensuring rain availability, we prepare every site so trees can thrive from day one.
3. We Restore With Care
We use restoration methods that assist natural forest regeneration — like Miyawaki planting or multi-layered forest mimicry — to rebuild healthy ecosystems. Whether we’re restoring habitat corridors or expanding urban canopy, our methods prioritize long-term health, not quick fixes.
4. We Take Responsibility for Survival
Our work doesn’t stop at planting. For up to 5 years after restoration, we return to sites to water, care for, and replace trees as needed — protecting against pests, drought, and other threats. Our survival target: 80%+.
5. We Monitor for Impact
We track key indicators for 3–5 years (and beyond) — including tree survival, soil health, biodiversity return, and ecosystem resilience. Our long-term goal is recovery: signs that life is returning and balance is being rebuilt.
6. We Build Community with Trees
Local voices and knowledge are central to our work. We restore in partnership with communities and prioritize equity-deserving regions and leaders. Together, we reconnect people to place — fostering pride, purpose, and stewardship for the land.
7. We Restore With a Bigger Vision
Our efforts contribute to:
-
Strengthening wildlife corridors
-
Supporting ecosystem engineers who rebuild habitats naturally
-
Expanding urban canopy to reduce heat
-
Creating carbon sinks to regulate global climate patterns
Every project fits into a bigger picture — helping nature regenerate and communities thrive.
8. We Stay for the Long Term
We monitor annually, set 10-year impact goals, and measure progress through ecological and social indicators. Restoration is considered successful when we see biodiversity rebounding, community stewardship taking root, and nature doing what it does best — heal and grow.
How We Bring Our Hotspots to Life
Every biodiversity hotspot starts with intention — and grows through action. Once a region is selected, we assemble a Restoration Crew: a dedicated staff-led team that works closely with local partners to identify restoration priorities, secure land access, and plan for long-term success.
From there, we…
Engage Local Communities
Engage local communities and members to participate in reforestation, habitat recovery, and urban canopy expansion.
Plan & Lead Restoration
Hosting member events from cleaning up to removing invasives, planting native trees & monitoring long-term ecosystem health.
Mix Culture
with Science
Layer in cultural knowledge and ecological science to connect to the area and create impactful restoration plans.
Track Our Progress
Of every site, monitoring biodiversity & survivability to ensure we’re restoring balance — not just planting trees.
Each site evolves differently depending on the land, the people, and the needs of the ecosystem — but one thing remains constant: this work grows community, resilience, and hope.
It Takes More Than Passion
to Plant a Forest
Every thriving forest begins with more than just a seed — it takes people, land, and shared resources.
Our restoration efforts are made possible by community champions, land stewards, and generous donors who believe in empowering young people to lead the way. Whether you have land to offer, tools to share, or simply want to support this movement — your contribution helps restore ecosystems, uplift communities, and create a more harmonious world.
