Get Your Tree Planted with #BreatheForTrees 🤭

We're halfway through October and there's still time to plant your free tree just by posting about how much you love fresh air on social media! 9 out of 10 people around the world are breathing polluted air. That's just an incredible statistic with big consequences for global health, but trees help clean the air by absorbing pollution and creating oxygen. When you post your #breathefortrees photo on Instagram or Twitter, we'll plant a tree for you at no cost. It's a rare opportunity to make a real impact through digital action.

The trees we plant as part of this campaign will go to India, which includes 9 of the 10 most polluted cities in the world by air quality.

It's All Connected: The 6 Pillars of Reforestation

Why do we plant trees? It's a simple question, but you'd be surprised by how diverse the answer can be. There are just so many benefits and so many different ways to speak about it. That's why the 6 pillars of reforestation have been at the core of One Tree Planted's mission since the beginning. They boil down the essential, interconnected, and simple reasons for planting trees no matter where you are in the world - backed by centuries of traditional wisdom and science!

New Short Film! The Old Man in the Airplane 🎥

Have you ever wondered what happens to airplanes after they're retired? Or what could happen to them? We had the chance to sit down with Bruce Campbell, known as the man who lives in an airplane in Oregon. He bought the old jetliner back in 1999, and has since converted it into a home complete with a kitchen, working plumbing, and comfortable living space. In addition to planting lots of trees, Bruce inspires us to think bigger about recycling. We love this story of unconventional sustainability and hope you do too.

And in case you're short on time, this video is under 5 minutes!

How Women Play a Key Role in Addressing Climate Change

When you think of solutions to the climate crisis, do you think of feminism? Among the many reasons to provide women with access to resources and education, climate resilience may not be the first to come to mind, but it should be. Research in everything from land management to farming and family planning shows that women have immense potential in reversing environmental degradation, bolstering existing conservation efforts, and addressing other Sustainable Development Goals such as reducing hunger - all while lowering carbon emissions. All it takes is empowering women with the same opportunities that are available to men. Equality is at the root of sustainability.

New Video! The Old Man in the Airplane

If we truly want to create a more sustainable planet, we're going to need to do a lot more than bring a tote bag to the store. Let's shine a light on the sometimes unusual but ultimately necessary solutions that challenge how we see everything! In our new short film (under 5 minutes long), we learn all about what happens to old airplanes after they're retired, and how one man has dedicated the last 20 years of his life to showing that airplanes don't have to go to waste - they can become homes.

California's Forest Fire Season is Here

It is with a heavy heart that we observe California's forest fires right now. 330 different fires have been recorded in the state in the past 24 hours, with the Kincade fire in Sonoma County among the most severe. Over 74,000 acres have burned in just that fire.

While California's landscapes have historically evolved with fire as a natural occurrence, climate change is exacerbating this and creating extreme conditions which cause the fires to spread further and last longer, or reach areas that would previously not be in a fire-prone zone. Furthermore, post-fire invasive species spread quickly, transforming former forests into less ecologically valuable or diverse brush land, and preventing more resilient native vegetation and trees from taking root.

That's where fire-smart reforestation is helpful in areas like this when the land is ready.

Mangrove Fast Facts: One of the World's Heartiest Trees

Can't choose whether you love forests or the ocean more? Then mangroves are definitely your kind of tree. They can be found in areas where coastlines meet land, with their roots often submerged in water. In addition to the typical benefits of most trees, mangroves also create habitats for marine life and protect against damage from storms and rising sea levels. And the best part? We're planting them! Get a sneak peek of some photos from our mangrove reforestation in Sundarbans while learning all about these amazing trees.

Last Chance to #BreatheForTrees!

Throughout the month of October we've encouraged you to share your #breathefortrees photo on Instagram or Twitter in order to plant a tree for free and raise awareness about how important trees are to clean air. You might take it for granted, but 9 out of 10 people around the world breathe polluted air.

We've received hundreds of photos from this community and can't wait to plant your trees. If you haven't posted your photo yet, now's the time! Just a few days left.

22,880 Trees Planted in Vietnam to Create a Green Belt

We're happy to share the completion of a reforestation project in Vietnam! 22,880 trees contributed by One Tree Planted were part of a larger project where over 72,000 trees were planted to create a green belt in the city of Pleiku, Gia Lai province. The newly planted trees in the country's central highlands will play an important role in retaining groundwater, reducing erosion, and improving soil. Beyond the environmental impact, local communities will benefit from greater access to water for drinking as well as irrigating crops. There are many ways that reforestation will contribute to the health of the local ecosystem thanks to your support.

24 Hours of Reality on November 20th-21st

We are honored to be an official reforestation partner for the Climate Reality Project's upcoming 24 Hours of Reality on November 20th-21st. The aim of the event is to create a global conversation about how to solve the climate crisis. And to honor this year's theme of Truth in Action, a tree will be planted for every presentation attendee.

For one full day, Climate Reality Leader volunteers trained by former Vice President Al Gore will hold public presentations on our changing climate in schools, community centers, workplaces, and more across all 50 US states and countries worldwide. You can attend or host a presentation to be a part of it.

New Project! Carbon Offsets in Uganda

You can now support reforestation in Uganda as part of a great new project that will eventually be used to generate carbon offsets! This project will be meticulously tracked, with education and training provided to all participants, and regular monitoring to ensure optimal long-term tree survival.

Trees must reach at least 7 years of age before they can be approved for carbon offsets, so the young seedlings have a ways to grow before their carbon sequestration benefits can be confirmed, but getting them in the ground is the first step! Along the way, they will support the environment and livelihoods of local communities. 70% of any profits generated from carbon offsets will go directly to the farmers who tend to the trees. This is a really amazing project we're honored to be a part of.

Forest fires are becoming an all-too-frequent headline these days. And while the focus is often on the impact of loss for nature, people, and wildlife, here at One Tree Planted we can't help but always turn an eye to what comes after. Restoration, renewal, hope.

Our newest video shows how we're going about restoring 1 million trees for forest fire restoration in British Columbia, in partnership with the provincial government and First Nation communities. This project is also part of a unique Forest Carbon Initiative that will measure exactly how much carbon the new forest sequesters!

Give Back to Nature on Giving Tuesday 🌲

As a lover of trees and the great outdoors, we have no doubt that you regularly appreciate the many benefits of nature. Trees in particular are essential pillars of our terrestrial landscapes. They provide us with life-giving necessities such as clean air and water, habitats for biodiversity, food, and medicine, as well as things like job opportunities, mental health, and recreational joy. �

With all that nature gives to us, and the ongoing threats of deforestation and biodiversity loss, the least we can do is give back in an effort to re-green the many degraded lands that need our support around the world.

That's why we're celebrating by matching every donation on our Giving Tuesday pages! Every dollar, every tree, will be doubled for this short time so we can make the biggest possible impact for nature.

1,500 Volunteers Came Out for Autumn's Plant a Tree Day

Speaking of planting trees, the numbers and photos are in for this fall's annual Plant a Tree Day volunteer events. We are absolutely blown away by how many of you turned out rain or shine to get your hands in the dirt and give back to nature in your city. We had events in a whopping 96 locations around the world! Many of the events involved planting trees, but others included tree care, trash cleanup, trail-making, or invasive species removal. It's ALL important for a healthy local environment. Check out all the details and photos!

23,000 Trees Planted in Tasmania, Australia

While some parts of Australia are continuing to experience severe forest fires, other areas are working towards restoration. We have recently completed a planting of 23,000 trees in Tasmania, as part of a partnership with the Tasmania Island Ark initiative through which over 15 PhD candidates and post-doctorate staff also participated to better design and implement restoration work.

Reforestation here was part of a project aiming to restore habitats for biodiversity in areas where farming and deforestation have created land fragmentation. The broader objective is to rebuild 15,000 hectares of habitat by 2030 to improve the conservation status of several wildlife species, including the Endangered Tasmanian Devil, the Vulnerable Eastern Barred Bandicoot, and the Endangered Eastern Quoll - all of which provide valuable ecosystem services for forests.

Happy Giving Tuesday! 🌲

Today's the day! The most generous holiday of the year, when we all take a moment to consider what's important to us, and then do something positive to make sure those things are elevated, preserved, or restored in the world.

And while we can all agree that nature is truly priceless, it will take an unprecedented movement of humanity to restore the environmental damage that's already been done through deforestation, climate change, and biodiversity loss. Let's not waste any time.

Roll up your sleeves, grab a shovel, and plant a tree. Or let us plant one for you! If we work together, we can grow new forests so our kids and grandkids can enjoy the great outdoors.

We're matching donations made on our Giving Tuesday pages today. It's a rare opportunity to DOUBLE your impact for forests!

World's Oldest Forest Discovered in New York

Happy 2020! 🎉 Let's start the year off on a positive note. A fossil record of the world's oldest forest has recently been discovered in New York! The image above is a representation of what prehistoric forests looked like during the mid-Devonian period, roughly 386 million years ago. The new evidence suggests that early trees have been around longer than previously thought, and have therefore had a longer impact on the Earth's climate. If you love trees and are interested in the evolution of plants then this 3-minute read is sure to inspire your inner paleobotanist.

Explore & Restore Our National Forests 🌿

Did you know that there are 154 National Forests and 20 grasslands throughout the United States, covering over 188 million acres? The majority are located in the western states, with Tongass National Forest in Alaska being the largest. But while they are all places of extraordinary beauty and wilderness, some areas are in need of environmental rehabilitation after natural or human-caused disasters. That's why we're proud to work with the Forest Service to restore these landscapes back to the forest-filled wonders we all love.��

Last Call for Your I ??Australia T-shirt

The fires in Australia may be starting to wane, but our work is just beginning as our local partners are assessing the damage and solidifying restoration plans. In the best scenarios, some areas have already begun to regenerate naturally. But in the hardest-hit regions, the burns are so severe that no seeds remain in the soil, and that's where reforestation will help bring ecosystems back to life. You can show your support by getting a limited edition Australia T-shirt, or simply planting a tree.

Check Out The 2019 Impact Video!

Last year was the biggest EVER for One Tree Planted as we grew from a small environmental charity to an influential leader in reforestation.

6 Climate Change Highlights from World Economic Forum

The World Economic Forum was recently held in Davos, Switzerland. It's an event that engages the foremost political, business, and cultural leaders to shape global, regional and industry agendas. You could say it's a big deal in the business world, because decisions made here ripple out to global economies for years to come. And climate change was definitely a prominent topic in the conversations held and announcements made. Here are the top 6 highlights related to the environment you should know about.

It's hard to comprehend just how devastating this fire season is, and it's only just begun in Australia. But while many are focused on the obvious priority of fire relief and preventing the loss of life, here at One Tree Planted we're looking further into the future at the long-term restoration of nature. That's a process that will take years, if not decades, and local native tree species will play a vital role in establishing healthy ecosystems once again.

Right now, we are in talks with local partners about the many logistics for environmental recovery. From identifying specific areas to reforest, to how nurseries will need to expand to accommodate the need for seedlings, to conducting operations in wildlife-friendly ways. Once the fires relent and the ash clears, assessments will need to be made and then the real work of reforestation will commence, with plenty of hands in the dirt.

As in other recent wildfire events, what might have been naturally occurring fires are exacerbated to extremes by prolonged drought and climate change. In fact, Australia is warming faster than the global average.

What's happening in Australia and other parts of the world has been predicted by scientists as a consequence of global warming at over 1 degree C, making it all the more important to address climate change and pollution at the source, through global leadership, sound environmental policies, and everyday sustainability actions.

But while the world holds their breath waiting for the metaphorical adults in the room to wake up, we'll just keep planting trees! But we can't do it alone. Ready to help?

The 2019/2020 fire season, which began much earlier than usual at the end of 2019, has now exceeded 24 million acres burned, with an estimate of over 1 billion animals that have perished or lost their habitats. This is an incredible loss that will be felt for many years to come. We are communicating with local partners directly to assess where, when, and how your trees will be planted for restoration in the region.

In the meantime, thank you so much for your support! #PlantforAustralia 🌱

1 Million Fruit Trees Planted in India to Fight Hunger

In spite of everything, the trees are getting PLANTED! And today we are very happy to share a reforestation story from India. With the help of local partners, volunteers, farmers, and families - and of course your support - we have planted 1 million fruit trees in India this year.

Plant for Wildlife & Giving Tuesday!

Giving Tuesday is here! And today we''d love to highlight the vital connection between wildlife and trees. Over 80% of the world''s terrestrial biodiversity live in forests. But there are now 41,415 species on the IUCN Red List, 16,306 of which are endangered species threatened with extinction. Stopping the many causes of deforestation is incredibly challenging, but restoring habitats in which biodiversity can thrive is within our reach.

Planting trees with us entails holistic habitat restoration, and in the case of our Giving Tuesday fund, your support will go directly towards reforestation initiatives dedicated to creating healthy habitats for wildlife. Plant a tree, get a custom Tree Certificate!

Say hello to two beautiful Black Lion Tamarins! They reside in one of the regions our reforestation initiatives will support, in Brazil. The reason they''re among the rarest primates in the world is that they have a small habitat range, and are affected by forest fragmentation and habitat degradation. That''s where we can make a positive impact.

Black Lion Tamarins live in family groups with two parents and their offspring, and they are omnivores who love trees. So they''re basically just like us! 😏

Send a Holiday Tree Card or E-Card 🌲

What''s better than sending a heartfelt card to someone you love? Sending a tree card of course! Whether it''s a physical card that can surprise them in the mail, or an E-card you can schedule to arrive at just the right moment, our cards are eco-friendly and come with the added bonus of planting trees on behalf of your friends and family. It''s the perfect gift for someone who''s not into random gifts they don''t need.

Physical cards must be ordered by this weekend to ensure they arrive in time for Christmas.

THANK YOU! And Happy Holidays 🎄

Hi Tree Lover,

It''s not very often that you get to see the faces of all the people who work behind the scenes to make our reforestation projects a reality, but what better time than now and what better way than by putting us on a tree?

From project managers to operations, storytellers to accountants, web developers to forestry experts there are now about 40 people on the One Tree Planted team, not counting thousands of our local on-the-ground partners, who help get millions of trees in the ground.

But what we do is only possible thanks to YOU!

Your passion for nature, your willingness to support our initiatives, and your advocacy for a healthier and more sustainable planet are ultimately what keeps us going. So we just wanted to take a moment to share our appreciation. THANK YOU! It''s individuals like you who are leading the way towards a better future.

From our family to yours, happy holidays!

The One Tree Planted team
