Impact that Lasts
Rather than being a tree-focused reforestation organization, we approach environmental restoration with a community focus.
Through this model, we create lasting impact in three key ways:
-
Restore vital ecosystems. We rehabilitate degraded landscapes by taking a holistic, landscape-level approach focused on restoring healthy ecosystems and watersheds.
-
Create fair-wage jobs. We provide meaningful employment opportunities for marginalized people, often offering the first stable, fairly paid jobs they’ve ever had.
-
Build sustainable, community-led businesses. We help establish locally owned businesses that empower communities to thrive independently even after a project finishes.
