The Tree Certificate - How to use, share, and download your certificate

Your Tree Certificate is a beautiful, official way to prove your impact — ready to download, share, or print as a gift.

🌱 What is a Tree Certificate?

The Tree Certificate is your official proof of tree planting. It contains:

  • Tree species and location

  • A personalized message (if added)

  • A QR code and claim link (for unclaimed trees)

  • Your name or company (if public)

Certificates are designed to be shared, gifted, printed, or archived — whether you're planting trees for personal, corporate, or campaign use.

🖼️ What the Tree Certificate page includes

For unclaimed trees, the certificate page features:

  • A “Claim this tree” button

  • A QR code (ideal for printed formats)

  • A backup text link for mobile users

  • The tree species, project location, and your personalized message (if included)

This ensures your recipient can access their gift from any device, even offline with a printed copy.

📄 How to view and download your Tree Certificate

You can download a printable PDF (A4 format) from 3 places:

1. Form the digital Tree: Accessible by clicking on your tree from the Activity Log. The “Tree Certificate” button is shown at the top of the modal.


 
 

2. My Contributions Page: Look for the “Certificate” column where direct links to your certificates are available.

 

3. Success/Confirmation Page: After a successful tree sponsorship, a link to the certificate is provided on the confirmation screen.

📥 You can save, print, or attach the PDF to your own card, email, or message.

🌍 Can I change the language?

Yes! You can view the certificate in any supported language by changing your account language:

  • Update it via My Settings in your profile

  • Use the language selector in the website footer on www.tree-nation.com 

Once changed, re-open the certificate and it will appear in the selected language.

🧭 Where to manage your certificates

Visit your My Contributions page to:

  • Access all certificates (claimed and unclaimed)

  • Download PDF versions

  • Track which trees were gifted and if they’ve been collected

⚠️ Important: Avoid clicking “Claim this tree” yourself unless you intend to collect it — doing so will assign the tree to your own account.

🎁 How does tree gifting work?

When you gift a tree, you choose how the recipient receives it:

1. Tree-Nation sends it by email

  • Your recipient gets a Tree-Nation email with a “Claim your tree” button

  • Clicking it leads to the Collect Page, where they can add the tree to their forest

  • You can also schedule this email (e.g. for birthdays or events)

2. You share the gift yourself

If you prefer to deliver it manually or with your own message:

You’ll get:

  • A Collect Page URL (a unique tree code to claim the gift)

  • A Tree Certificate URL, which includes a claim button, QR code, and a download option

This gives you complete flexibility in how you present your gift — digital or printed.
