Why are trees important

Trees help clean the air we breathe, filter the water we drink, and provide habitat to over 80% of the world's terrestrial biodiversity.

Forests provide jobs to over 1.6 billion people, absorb harmful carbon from the atmosphere, and are key ingredients in 25% of all medicines. Have you ever taken an Aspirin? It comes from the bark of a tree!

What is reforestation?

Reforestation can be defined as the process of replanting trees in areas that have been affected by natural disturbances like wildfires, drought, and insect and disease infestations — and unnatural ones like logging, mining, agricultural clearing, and development. This can mean anything from supporting natural regeneration in an area that has been degraded to planting ecologically appropriate tree seedlings after forest fires.

How One Tree Planted reforestation projects work

Planting trees may seem like a simple action to take, but the process of restoring forests is much more complicated. Several details need to be ironed out before the first tree is planted to ensure a positive social and environmental impact. This includes assessing the current condition of the land and land use, knowing which local species will work best, having the infrastructure and support to scale seedling production at nurseries, developing a solid pre, during, and post-planting plan, and ensuring that local staff and volunteers are on board.

And that’s just the beginning! One Tree Planted works with our carefully vetted tree planting partners to determine the most effective reforestation method. In some places, this may mean supporting nature’s ability to heal itself through natural regeneration with seeds from local trees. This type of management is often the best option when the land is degraded rather than deforested, and has a chance of coming back on its own if given the right support.
