Success Stories

While this may seem like a lot of work, David is being helped – and supervised – by his two grandsons, Robbie and David #2 – klein David.

Twenty trees were planted within the school premises, with the learners taking ownership of nurturing them.

This success story is a throwback to November 2019, exactly six years ago, when it all started for the Global Tree Initiative!

Together with our founder and his son, Manuela planted a total of 19 trees.

This planting aims to re-establish the natural ecology of the plants and, then hopefully, the animals, birds, and insects that have been lost over many decades.

The reforestation project is one of the aspects of our commitment, in restoring our connection with nature, fixing the environmental degeneration, and the relationship we have with elemental force.

I know my friend has been involved with the GTI (Global Tree Initiative) for a long time, so last year he asked me to plant a tree

This tree planting is not just an activity, but a symbol of our commitment to both environmental sustainability and social development.

Members of Bodhicitta Centre for Mindful Awareness, in Chandigarh India, under the guidance of its Founder, Mrs. Kamal Singh Malhi, and other members, organised a tree planting of approximately 4000 tree saplings.

Our loyal and dedicated community member (and ex-Australian regional coordinator), Mark Allaway, tells us about his latest planting activity.

Frank explains, Green land Group, we are an involved community with different ways through education to understand how the seedlings are being produced and how they are taken into plantation.

Mark explains, “if you want to re-establish the woodlands, you have to begin at ground level with herbs, grasses, tussock plants and work up slowly to shrubs and then trees.

Our tree planting initiative is just one example of our commitment to environmental conservation and community development.

After his last tree-planting story being shared earlier in July, Justus Wanjohi – who runs a community-based organization called Giwa Climate Response – returns to update us with another amazing activity.

Earlier this year, in June, Mark and Jill shared a tree-planting activity they attended in collaboration with Earthcare St Kilda.

Today’s story is a shining example of community work’s potential to improve lives and do good for the environment.

This story was shared by Mr. Dash, from India. It is about how 6.000 tree saplings were planted in order to create a comfortable and healthy habitat for an elephant herd.

Thought to have originated in Queensland, P. tectorius grows on the exposed eastern edge of the Australian continent, often near the hardy coastal she-oak and banksia, overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the aquatic home to so many beings.
