What is your question?

Landscape restoration is a holistic, standards-based approach to restoration and conservation that generates environmental, socioeconomic, and biodiversity benefits for the well-being of communities and the planet; which includes forests as an important element of each landscape.

Landscape restoration goes beyond planting trees to encompass a series of large-scale restoration interventions aimed at providing environmental and socioeconomic benefits to fulfill current and future needs long term.

Core landscape restoration activities include seedling production, diverse species planting, assisted natural regeneration, agroforestry, seed bed restoration, fire management, and erosion control planting.

Our partner organizations use high-quality indigenous species, and prioritizes biodiversity as well as benefits designed explicitly by and for each community that supports their well-being, raises living conditions, and restores their environment.

Reputable partner organizations whose sole focus is forest and landscape restoration to counteract the devastating effects of human actions and encroachment, and climate change, while providing the social benefit of a lasting livelihood for local populations in developing regions.

We aim to support a wide range of restoration projects with communities across the globe, each with their own unique goals and objectives. To achieve maximum positive impact in terms of tree planting, biodiversity, and social welfare, we prioritize diversity and quality over sheer volume. We focus on selecting partners with projects that meet our criteria, taking into consideration their specific needs, available resources, and scale.

Our planting partner organizations work closely with local leaders, experts, and communities to design restoration strategies tailored to each region's ecological and cultural needs. More than 300 high-quality, indigenous species are selected that are well-suited to the local environment. We prioritize biodiversity, ensuring a variety of species are planted to support healthy ecosystems and long-term environmental and socio-economic sustainability.

Every project we consider must address environmental issues and work closely with the local community by adhering to strict requirements that follow Goal 15 of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals; and incorporate the use of our TreeVerify mobile app. Our requirements include both environmental and social benefits criteria as well as a strong focus on project management.

By definition, all our forest restoration projects address the issue of biodiversity loss. This is one of the main purposes behind our mission to restore our forests. When done right, planting trees sytematically increases biodiversity.

Each project has it's own set of benefits, both environmental and social. Some of our projects have obtained third-party certification, and others have not. For all our projects, we compliment our own tracking and CO2 measurement tools with third-party verification and certification standards to meet the highest quality standards.

Whether a project has obtained third-party certification or not is by no means an indicator of the quality of the project. These are just two different strategies for planting trees, both valid.

Our project verification relies on a combination of on-site as well as digital project analysis methodologies used to determine our own verification and quality for each project, following the UN Code of Conduct.

While our TreeVerify system does support RFID and QR code post planting monitoring, we regularly monitor planting sites by satellite to identify issues due to fire, flood, and droughts, working to restore those areas as they are identified with our providers; and to monitor the success of the overall project. Each project is long-term, active for 20 years or longer.

Pricing is effected by labor, local resources, infrastructure and size of the projects. Smaller planting sites, while beneficial, do not benefit from economies of scale and have higher costs. We split our planting sites into different pricing tiers to account for these differences.

Yes! Coming soon, you will be able to share a request for others to plant trees for you as a gift for your birthday, anniversary, or any reason at all!

We do not offer the opportunity for individuals to take part in tree planting currently, leaving this important work to our expert planting partners.

A destination for users to access their trees, build their personal forest, and create a bigger positive impact. It is also where OneSeed business users can create and monitor their impact campaigns, and view and publisly share their impact metrics.

Registering on impact.OneSeed.eco makes it possible to create a profile to "remember" all your trees and build your personal MyForest, set preferences, and view your impact. Registering is completely voluntary and you have total control over your information.

A digital representation of the trees you've sponsored to be planted or that have been sponsored on your behalf. Your MyForest may also include Seedlings; if a tree in your MyForest is in the nursery and has not yet been planted.

We do not currently offer the option to choose which species get planted, instead leaving that decision to the experts.

The digital representation of REAL tree seedlings in a nursery waiting until the conditions are right for planting, dictated by seasons and weather conditions to give the seedlings the best environment to thrive in.

The digital representation of REAL TREES planted, sponsored by you or on your behalf. Includes a photo of the tree sapling at planting, the date when it was planted, what species it is, where it is located, and the benefits it is providing to the environment and local communities.
