Our Mission
Our mission is to increase the planting and growth of trees and tree canopy throughout the world. We work locally with nurseries and distributors to give citizens greater access to seedlings and planting techniques so that they can plant and grow trees of their own. A nonprofit is as strong as the community that holds it up. Together we can do more. Let's bring our abilities and passions together to affect real change.
Tree Canopy (or leaves) are essential to our collective ecosystem, helping maintain a sustainable balance over the environment. Increasing the amount of tree canopy in an area, even at a small scale can have a barrage of positive effects. We have more than doubled our Original goal of planting 1,000 trees. Our successes have propelled us to move forward and expand our Organization. We are currently developing chapters in Richmond, Virginia; Mountain View, California; and Melbourne, Australia.
We focus on making the maximum positive effort for our community. Every seedling caretaker provides the momentum that helps us affect change. By working with city officials, we provide solutions that make a long-lasting difference.
Seeing a need for energetic, nonprofit work in planting trees in Virginia Beach and the Planet, we formed our organization to provide a sensible way to distribute seedlings. We've consistently worked hard and expanded in size every year.
