Why trees?

Trees are a vital part of our ecosystem, from water filtration to providing a habitat for a vast majority of wildlife. They are also an incredible asset in offsetting the negative impacts of carbon on our atmosphere. 

 

Our process is very simple. Working with a team of partners and volunteers, we grow saplings each rain season, seeding trees that are monitored ongoing. And in tracking these trees, we are able to report back to our communities our impact on ameliorating the climate.

3725 species live in Ghana’s forest.

2.5 million people rely on the forest of Ghana for their livelihood.

100,000 people are employed in the forest sector.

33.7% of Ghana’s forest has been lost.

Agriculture, including forestry is the backbone of the Ghanaian economy.

6% of Ghana’s GDP comes from forestry.

Our approach, afforestation, is focused on planting trees where they have not existed in at least 50 years. We work with local communities to grow trees in parks, neighborhoods and schools, as well as open plots of land to combat the impacts of carbon on the climate.
