Why plant with us?
We Are More Than Just Trees, More Than Just Offsets
We know there are many CO2 offsetting programs out there, but we feel they’re a bit like throwing a coin into a wishing well, without really knowing what actually happens to that coin. Trees4Travel offers complete transparency, a connection between the traveler, their trees & their impact. Trees are tangible, understandable & affordable - something that we can all see, be proud of & watch grow.
By planting trees in developing countries, we then also help to restore ecosystems, biodiversity & support local communities through the dignity of employment. Reforestation will help reverse climate change, but trees can sometimes be fragile & take time to grow, so to ensure we remove carbon emissions as quickly as possible, we always assign each tree with a share of a United Nations (CER) certified emissions reduction where we simultaneously invest into renewable energy projects, essentially doubling our promise & backing up our CO2 removal claim.
​
To work efficiently, we carefully select & focus on just
a few reforestation projects at a time.
Once the tree growing project is underway, we will update you on progress & to ensure that the forest continues to be well maintained, we will provide photography & video footage that we share with you, so you can see how the forest is growing.

More Positives of PLANTING TREES
Air
Planting trees helps clean the air that we breathe & absorbs harmful pollutants & carbon from the atmosphere.
Water
Planting trees helps filter & clean our drinking water. The roots of trees also helps to stop flooding & landslides.
Biodiversity
Planting a tree helps to provide a home to thousands of species of insect, fungi, moss, animals and plants. Trees provide habitat to over 80% of the world's terrestrial biodiversity
Social Impact
Planting trees creates work for local communities
on multiple levels. Trees can also provide food for humans & animals.
​
Health
Studies have shown that spending time around trees - what the Japanese call shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing can promote health and happiness.
