One Tree Planted Mission

Founded on a simple yet powerful premise, One Tree Planted is a nonprofit organization with a mission deeply rooted in environmental conservation. Established in 2014 and based in Vermont, the organization operates on the belief that the act of planting trees can have a profound and lasting impact on the health of our planet.

 One Tree Planted focuses on reforestation efforts globally, working collaboratively with partners and communities to address deforestation, promote biodiversity, and combat climate change.

The organization envisions a world where individuals, businesses, and communities come together to create a sustainable and thriving future. 

At the heart of One Tree Planted’s strategy is the recognition of the vital role trees play in maintaining ecological balance.

One of the distinctive features of One Tree Planted is its transparent and accessible approach to environmental stewardship. The organization engages individuals, businesses, and other nonprofits through various tree-planting initiatives. Donors can contribute to specific projects, allowing them to see the direct impact of their support.
