Project activities

Reforestation

The project is planting trees to re-establish forest cover in an area that has been deforested.

Conservation

The project works to achieve forest health and biodiversity for the benefit and sustainability of current and future generations.

Preservation

The project owns areas protected from industrial activity to help preserve species and healthy ecosystems for the future, ensuring its long-term sustainability.

Agroforestry

The project is planting trees on agricultural land for multiple purposes, including the agricultural use of trees, combined with agricultural crops and/or livestock.

Afforestation

The project is planting trees to create a forest in an area that was previously not forested.

Water resources management

Water Resources Management

Water supplies are part of the project's sustainable management. It improves the quantity and quality of the water and contributes to the reduction of water-related risks, such as floods.

Planting methods

Direct seeding

Direct Seeding

The sowing of seeds directly into the soil where the trees are to be established.

Muvuca

This direct-seeding method involves spreading the seeds of hundreds of varieties of native species over every square meter of land.

Seed Bomb

One seed, or multiple, wrapped in a mixture of clay and compost, protecting the seed from harsh weather conditions and seed-eating animals.

Aerial seeding

Aerial Seeding

The technique of sowing seeds by dropping them from a drone, plane, or helicopter. This method allows dispersing seeds into difficult-to-reach locations.

Seedlings transplant

Nursery Seeding

Seedlings transition from the nursery to their permanent site. They spend 3 to 6 months in nurseries before being transplanted. The seedlings are removed from their bag, which is usually made of plastic, to be transplanted into the soil.

Eco bags nursery

Nursery Bio

Seedlings transition from the nursery to their permanent site. The bags used are biodegradable, so there is no need to remove the seedlings, reducing the risk of a transplant shock.

Assisted natural regeneration

Assisted Natural Regeneration

Protection and preservation of natural tree seedlings in forested areas, employing different techniques to remove or reduce barriers to natural forest regeneration.

Environmental benefits

CO2 capture

CO2 Capture

The project holds ideal characteristics for carbon sequestration (CO2 offsets). These include a tropical climate zone, fast growing species, certain types of forests and project management.

Fauna conservation

Fauna Conservation

Animal species protection is part of the plantation management, such as the creation of safe habitats.

Fighting desertification

Fights Desertification

The project plants trees in arid zones to combat desertification and to help restore degraded land.

Land restoration

The project repairs degraded land back into a healthy and productive land.

Avoiding deforestation

Avoid deforestation

The project's sustainable forest management helps stop deforestation and forest degradation.

Organic

The project is managed without the use of agrochemicals or herbicides.

Social benefits

Students & volunteers

Students & Volunteers

Project welcoming volunteers or students in the context of internships.

Infrastructure

Some infrastructure projects are developed on the plantations.

Ecotourism

Project description

This project is located in the beautiful Geita region, which is part of the Lake zone regions of Tanzania.
We launched this project because we noticed that extreme poverty, combined with the effects of climate change, has been a major challenge for the people of Geita. The extraction of minerals from nature has often caused imbalances, which adversely affect the environment. That's why we decided to take action by planting new trees.
The aim of this project is to reduce poverty and conserve the environment among the community living in the Geita region directly by diversifying their income generation and our goal is to create a better future for everyone in the region by promoting sustainable practices that benefit both the people and the environment. Planting trees is one of the most effective ways to reduce environmental degradation and promote sustainable land-use practices.
Since we launched the project, we have already planted over 300,000 trees and helped more than 15,000 people in the process. We're excited about the progress we've made so far and are committed to continuing our efforts to create a better future for Geita region

Updates to Tree-Nation's policies

Dear undefined,

We are excited to inform you that as of today, 03/06/2024, Tree-Nation will be shifting the majority of our operations to our Spanish company, Neovee Solutions. The Neovee entity is where Tree-Nation was originally founded and operated for thirteen years, and we return to it after a period working fully as a non-profit organization. From now on, Neovee Solutions will manage the Tree-Nation platform, while our non-profit arm will focus on the research and development of micro-conservation projects.
As a result of this transition, Neovee Solutions will become the new controller of your personal data, handling its storage and processing. This change in data management will not impact your experience with us. The company's team and activities remain unchanged, and your data will continue to be employed solely for the purposes disclosed at the time of registration.
To understand the reason behind this change, and why we are excited about it, please review our blog announcement. Though there is no action required on your end, you may review further details in our updated Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, and Terms of Service.
Please be aware that you have the right to deactivate or delete your Tree-Nation account if you do not wish to accept our terms under this updated structure. You may also request the deletion of your information by contacting us. If you have any questions, or wish to delete your data, please e-mail us at contactus@tree-nation.com.
Our team is thrilled to finally announce this transition as we have been preparing it for a whole year. It is a step towards enabling the expansion of our projects, aligning with our mission of planting one trillion trees by 2050.
We thank you for your support in this ambitious, yet essential goal.
