Tree-Nation

Want to know what happens before planting season?

A lot of careful work.

At the nursery, native seedlings are being transplanted, cared for, and prepared for the rains. This is also where local employment opportunities are created, especially for women.

In the field, community members and stakeholders are meeting to share ideas and shape the work together.

Before a tree reaches Mkussu Forest, there is already a whole chain of people, planning, and preparation behind it.

This is restoration before planting day.

🇹🇿🌳 A look at our Forest Gardens project in the Simiyu Region of Tanzania.

Monoculture and logging had stripped the land here, leaving farming families dependent on a single crop. Our agroforestry approach is rebuilding that. Trees and crops grow on the same plot, producing food, shade, soil health and biodiversity all at once.

Today is Endangered Species Day. 🦋
We asked Sara Paoluzzi, one of our most active planters, what this day means to her. Here's what she shared:
"When I think about wildlife — the battles fought, the petitions signed, the stories told, the tears — only one phrase captures what I feel: their right to exist. Humans have destroyed and killed so much. Don't turn your head away. They need you. Don't leave them alone."

Sara has spent months turning her Tree-Nation forest into a feed of advocacy, for lions, wolves, Florida panthers, and the laws that protect them. She's a reminder that protecting wildlife and protecting the forests they call home are part of the same fight.

P.S. This Earth Day felt especially meaningful, as we were also celebrating 20 years of Tree-Nation. Thanks for being part of it.

🌿 The Eastern Arc Mountains in Tanzania are among the most biodiverse regions on the planet, and they are under threat. Our Usambara Biodiversity Conservation project works to reverse deforestation by combining reforestation with agroforestry, environmental education, and community empowerment, with a particular focus on uplifting women and valuing local knowledge.

Not all Mother's Day gifts belong in a vase...💚
Some take root, grow tall, and keep giving for decades. Plant a tree in her honor this year and celebrate two mothers at once: her, and Mother Earth. So far, 1,748 trees have already been planted under !

May 9 is World Migratory Bird Day.

Habitat loss remains one of the biggest threats to migratory birds worldwide, making forest restoration an important part of protecting migration routes and biodiversity.
136 trees have already been planted through our planting habit!

Sir David Attenborough turns 100 today.
He has spent a lifetime telling us the story of the planet, and the last few decades urging us to protect it. At Tree-Nation, we are proud to be part of the global effort his work has inspired: restoring forests, protecting biodiversity, and building a more sustainable future.
Happy 100th, Sir David. 🌳
