Trees receive the required maintenance and care to help them grow healthy. Project management techniques vary for each project.
Ensuring proper maintenance and care is essential for healthy tree growth. While project management techniques vary, we prioritize early-stage care, particularly during the first two years, when trees are most vulnerable.
Approach to Tree Maintenance
- The level of maintenance required depends on the species and project conditions.
- For most projects, we monitor tree survival and replant when necessary.
- In low-cost projects, it can be more effective to plant additional trees rather than provide intensive maintenance. In such cases, we plant at least 50% extra trees to ensure a sufficient number reach maturity.
- Across all projects, we maintain a 5% extra tree margin to account for natural losses.
How Maintenance is Performed
- Forestry experts conduct regular site visits to assess tree health.
- Technical support is provided to landowners to improve tree care.
- In certified projects, financial incentives are tied to tree survival—landowners receive compensation only if trees thrive.
- In non-certified projects, financial incentives come from the trees themselves. Thoughtful species selection ensures that trees provide economic benefits (e.g., fruits, wood, or by-products), naturally motivating landowners to maintain and plant more trees.
No Additional Costs for Sponsors
Tree maintenance is included in the sponsorship price, so there are no hidden fees for our supporters.
