Americas: Plant trees in Florida's Forests
Americas: Plant trees in Florida's Forests
Longleaf pine forests once spanned around 90 million acres across the southern coastal plain of North America, making them one of the most biologically diverse ecosystems in the U.S. However, due to factors like land conversion, and fire suppression, the extent of these forests has been drastically reduced to less than 3 million acres today.
In addition to climate change mitigation, the Florida Terrestrial Restoration project offers substantial environmental and social benefits. One of the main outcomes is habitat restoration. The reforested area supports a wide range of wildlife, including the American Wigeon, Fox Squirrel, and Florida Scrub Lizard. These species rely on the longleaf pine ecosystem for survival, and restoring their habitat is crucial for their conservation.

My friend loved the gift and raved about it! The purchase process was easy and I love that we could celebrate with something that helps all of us thrive vs something that will end up in a landfill.
It's a fast, smooth, easily navigable & satisfactory experience of gifting 👍
Love the idea and the cause!
This has been an ongoing and endearing experience of gifting trees instead of material gifts. So eco friendly and getting satisfaction of contributing towards healing of our Mother Earth🙏
Firstly, a huge thank you to my in-laws (who are my parents) for this fantastic and very thoughtful initiative in terms of gifting. What better way to enjoy my birthday than knowing the world is a much greener place. As someone who’s loved nature since I was young this gift is special to me.
To Prateeksha and the Greenr team : Keep the fantastic work going 🌴
When we get married in India there’s a custom to get a sapling of bamboo for ceremonies . It’s a way of signifying growth of your family and connecting you to the earth. When I saw this initiative by my colleague I was very excited as it gives me an opportunity to give back in some way to the planet. I really liked the detailed supply chain and confirmation that these trees will actually be planted .
The idea of planting trees to cherish the memories of a person who loved Life & Nature, but left the world too soon, is very close to my heart. It also signifies giving something back to our "Mother Earth" who has nurtured all the living beings since millions
of years. I have made it my resolution to support this cause in the future gifting moments 🥰
This is a nice meaningful gift my mother will enjoy. I've scheduled it to land on mother's day on May 11th.
As of now, we have to face the bitter truth, that human activities have raised the atmosphere's carbon dioxide content by 50% in less than 200 years.😢 I feel, we need to wake up to this grim situation at the earliest to save the earth for coming generations. Hence I am very happy and want to thank 🙏 you for giving me an opportunity to plant trees as a gift ❤️ in loving memory of my brother as well as, to mother earth.
In a world of material possessions, gifting. the planting of trees feels so refreshing ! Surprised my husband by gifting these for our anniversary and both of us loved it! Also knowing where these trees are feels personal and special!
Our planting partners
We facilitate our tree planting through reputable, environmentally responsible organizations dedicated to fighting deforestation and extreme poverty. They employ local communities to plant native trees, restoring ecosystems and providing livelihoods for millions.
Why plant trees?
Trees are the earth's lungs
producing approximately 20% of the oxygen we breathe. A mature tree can produce enough oxygen for up to four people per day.
Trees absorb CO2
a major contributor to climate change. A single mature tree can absorb around 48 pounds of CO2 annually. For example, a hectare of forest can sequester up to 30 tons of CO2 per year.
Trees provide habitats
for a wide range of species. The Amazon rainforest houses about 10% of the world's known species.
Trees prevent soil erosion
by binding soil together. In regions like the Loess Plateau in China, tree planting initiatives have reduced soil erosion by up to 90%.
Trees regulate water cycle
The Amazon rainforest, for example, releases water vapor through transpiration, which contributes to rainfall patterns across South America.
