Does Trees4Trees™ replace the trees used in products with the same species?
No. The species we plant is determined by the farmer on whose lands we plant the trees. Our goals are to help the environment by increasing forest cover and help local communities. To do this we plant the species that are most effective at achieving those goals. We are mainly concerned with replacing/increasing live biomass in the forest. To do this we rely on the motivation of local communities to look after the trees and therefore, we plant the trees that they prefer. Trees4Trees™ suggests a mix of species to each farmer based on what we have found to be the most successful in specific planting conditions and also upon the farmer’s economic goals. But in the end, it is the farmer who decides what will be planted on their land.
