Start a tree-planting project

Planting trees is an excellent community-owned exercise.

• Decide to do it and plan.
• Identify the types of trees to be planted.
• Recruit volunteers. (e. g. young adults, people from your community, your yoga pals, children from local educational institutions….)
• Raise funds to support the project.
• Choose the planting site.
• Arrange the required equipment.
• Schedule the event.
• Follow correct tree-planting procedures.
• Provide refreshments for guests, invitees, and volunteers at the end of the event. Reward volunteers and others who helped with some form of recognition.
• Ensure proper care for the plants for at least two to three years

Remember to tell us about your tree-planting activity! We can promote your tree-planting events on our GTI events calendar, and potentially help you source resources, volunteers, and more!

We can also write a Success Story about your tree-planting activity. This promotes your hard work, and inspires others to do the same!
