OUR MISSION:
Our aim is plant 1 million trees over the next 5 years and help to sustain an area of forest the size of Market Harborough, our home town.
We prove our work.
We're excited to share all our work with you, on our impact page you'll be able to track where each of the trees we've planted is located.
We're committed to transparency.
We're keen to share with you where every single penny of the money we've raised is spent.

OUR PARTNERS
Eden Reforestation Projects reduces extreme poverty and restores healthy forests by employing local villagers to plant millions of trees every year.
Everything we do at Future Forest is designed to maximise the amount of carbon dioxide we can take out of the atmosphere, and maximise the benefit to the environment. Any land that we buy we restore using a combination of reforestation, natural regeneration, and regenerative agriculture practices. We then co-deploy reforestation with two further technologies, biochar and enhanced weathering, to increase the amount of carbon we can sequester per hectare of land by up to 10 times.
We're proud to be a non profit partner of 1% for the Planet.
1% for the Planet is a global organization that exists to ensure our planet and future generations thrive. We inspire businesses and individuals to support environmental nonprofits through membership and everyday actions. We make environmental giving easy and effective through partnership advising, impact storytelling and third-party certification.
