Trees for the Future



ECOmmitted has recently partnered with Trees for the Future, a non-profit organizationthat helps developing countries improve their rural livelihoods through the introduction of environmentally sustainable land management projects focused on beneficial tree planting.
 
Most communities around the world recognize that they need to plant trees on their degraded lands if they are to improve their lives. We provide 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.
 

Since 1988, Trees for the Future has assisted thousands of villages in Asia, Africa and Latin America in planting over 50 million trees. These trees have restored sustainably productive life to over 25,000 acres of land that had previously been degraded and abandoned. The trees offer food, fodder, fuel and medicine for the farmers as well as shade, fertilizer and biodiversity for the landscape. They calculate that these trees remove over one and a half million tons of CO2 from the atmosphere each year.
