French Guiana boasts over 1,500 tree species and is one of the world’s five High-Biodiversity Wilderness Areas (HBWA). This diversity is under threat from gold mining and increasing urbanization. In addition, there is little know-how today to preserve local tree species. This project involves planting 625 trees to establish a seed orchard with species endemic to this particular territory, which, over time, will help preserve and restore the natural environment currently under threat.

The project is located in the Phnom Kulen National Park, close to the town of Siem Reap and Angkor archaeological site. A former stronghold of the Khmer Rouge, this part of the park suffered from the ravages of war. Hence its population is still one of the poorest in the province and is facing major environmental challenges. Planting 6,200 trees aims to generate sustainable income for producers for greater food security while tackling deforestation.

The population around Lake Togo is made up of farmers, fishermen and -women. This area is under strong demographic pressure and facing major ecological and social changes – deterioration of plant life, serious soil erosion and increased poverty among the local population. Planting 100,000 trees in 10 villages and introducing market gardening will preserve biodiversity and improve crop yields, as well as boosting fishing by tackling soil erosion and stabilising the lakeshore.

This new project in Tena seeks to reforest spoiled areas with 5,500 trees. The sustainable agroforestry model being implemented is helping improve the quality of life for Kichwas while protecting the adjacent primary forest. This initiative is a response to the issue of biodiversity loss. It is carrying on from previous projects focused on planting valuable trees in Tena.

This project, located in the Argentan region of Normandy, aims to plant hedgerows with the help of farmers, thus completing the existing hedgerow network, typical of this region. Planting 14,000 trees, in two planting waves, of which 21 different species, will allow the development of a rich and diversified fauna as well as a source of shelter and food and will also be an important support for the local flora.

Guillaume, a farmer in the Vienne, for many years led an experimental station that tested introducing trees into the farming. Today he is keen to plant hedgerows around his agroforestry plot, which produces fodder to feed the flock of a neighbouring shepherd as well as aromatic plants. Planting 605 trees around the plot will enrich biodiversity, improve soil fertility, and serve as an example of a more sustainable agricultural model for other farmers to follow.

This project in Canada aims to support five Ontario farm families who want to switch to organic farming and restore local ecosystems by planting 10,000 trees. This planting will create ecological corridors to protect local wildlife, improve soil and water quality, and store carbon.

Loïc and Jean-Philippe, two dairy farmers from Brittany, wish to turn to agroforestry and plant trees in the middle of a plot of grassland grazed by dairy cows. Planting 269 trees on this piece of land will help the farm adapt to climate change, diversify biodiversity, fertilise the soil, and store carbon in the trees and soil.

A farmer, Félix raises a 150-head herd of Red Angus in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques (southwest France). He is keen to adopt agroforestry and put trees at the heart of the cattle pasture. Introducting 1,208 trees will provide additional food and shade for the livestock, improve soil fertility, and enrich biodiversity on the farm.

Michel, a winegrower in the Indre-et-Loire department, is convinced there is a place for trees in agricultural systems. Hence he has starting reintroducing them to his vineyard. Together with his father, now retired, he plans to plant 881 fruit trees, including 477 financed by A Tree for You donors, amidst the vines to protect them from the impacts of climate change, such as excessive heat and late frosts, and so continue producing wine in this emblematic region!

Affected by chestnut ink disease, this forest in the west of Ile-de-France (Paris region) is rapidly dying out. Here in Montmorency, the forest was classified as being in a health crisis in 2018. When the trees are diseased or dead, we must then resort to sanitation cutting. This project seeks to restore healthy afforestation with more resistant species: the sessile oak, together with a natural increase in birch trees, whitebeam…
Affected by ash dieback or chalarose, some forests are dying out in Hauts-de-France (northernmost region of the country) to such an extent that at times the National Forests Office (Office national des forêts, ONF) has forbidden access out of concerns for the safety of hikers. The objective of this project is twofold: it seeks to replace trees that will die and educate children in the region about environmental protection by planting 2,880 trees, mainly oaks and beech.
This new project in Tena seeks to reforest spoiled areas with 8,000 trees. The sustainable agroforestry model being implemented is helping improve the quality of life for Kichwas while protecting the adjacent primary forest. This initiative is a response to the issue of biodiversity loss. It is carrying on from the previous project focused on planting valuable trees in Tena.
