Who Plants the Trees?

We're able to plant trees with money received from advertising revenue. So don't be annoyed by the advertisements you see on our question pages. They're the ones funding all the trees! When you answer 10 questions correctly, we have enough advertising revenue to plant one tree through a fantastic organization called Trees for the Future(TFTF). TFTF provides technical knowledge on agroforestry and sustainable development, along with planting materials so that communities can return their degraded lands and struggling farms back to sustainable production.

Beneficial trees minimize soil erosion, supply forage for animals, and provide a source of fuelwood, but planting trees is difficult when the canopy has disappeared, topsoil has been eroded, and the climate and growing conditions have changed. Through our network of technicians, volunteers, and community leaders world-wide, our program reaches remote areas and gives local people the knowledge and ability to rehabilitate their environment. Trees for the Future has planted nearly 50 million trees in Africa and Latin America since 1989 and we want to allow them to plant a whole bunch more.
