Tree pricing, explained

At Tree-Nation, we are committed to offering fair prices to our sponsors while ensuring the success of our projects. Basic costs are related to trees' development: seed sourcing, nursery time, transplantation, early maintenance, growth monitoring, and replanting (in case of unexpected loss). In addition, projects incur gear, digging/irrigation equipment, transportation, and labor costs. We empower our project managers to design their pricing strategy, then rigorously vet it to confirm that it aligns with their specific practices. As a result of this approach, you pay a one-time fee per tree, covering its lifespan without additional costs.

Tree planting processes differ across projects depending on the country of operation and its cost of life, project scale, tree species, maintenance needs, and planting methods. Project scale particularly impacts costs, as bigger plantations benefit from economies of scale where the price per tree decreases as the size of the plantation increases. Smaller, niche projects might incur slightly higher expenses, but may offer exceptional biodiversity benefits such as preserving endangered species. Ultimately, price is not indicative of tree quality, but rather of the context which surrounds its planting. 

Tailoring prices to each project offers two key benefits: first, it ensures that project holders are financially equipped to manage their plantations, and second, it results in a range of pricing options. Regardless of where sponsors fall on the price sensitivity spectrum, we have a suitable option for them to plant. We offer this variety so that you may select the option that aligns with your budget and offsetting needs. However, we refrain from adjusting tree prices or offering bulk discounts, as this would interfere with a project’s ability to effectively plant and maintain its trees.
