Yves is a crop farmer in the Beauce region of France. He works in organic and conservation agriculture and is keen to expand this approach to include more sustainable farming methods by planting trees on his land. Introducing 6,579 trees of over 50 different species will reduce the significant loss of soil and fertility and enrich the surrounding biodiversity.

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 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 20,000 trees, of which 15 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. This project is a continuation of the projects carried out in 2020 and 2021 in the region.

The project aims to help farmers and herders in the region move towards a silvopastoral system – a sustainable form of agriculture that combines forestry and pastoral objectives. Planting 117,000 trees will enable local livestock farmers to carry out an income-generating activity that is more respectful of the environment and protects the neighbouring Selva El Ocote reserve.

Affected by chestnut ink disease, some forests in Île-de-France (Paris and its region) are rapidly dying. Damage in Meudon forest is significant because this species currently represents 30% of the cover. Also, in certain areas where the trees are diseased or dead, the National Forest Office (Office National des Forêts, ONF) must resort to sanitation cutting. This project, exclusively reserved for RED by SFR clients aims to restore woodland with more resistant species – namely sessile oak, hornbeam, and Atlas cedar – with the overall goal being to maintain the forest cover and atmosphere in Meudon.

Marion, a farmer in the Alpes de Hautes Provence, grows and harvests perfume, aromatic and medicinal plants on her plots. She wishes to turn to a farming system that respects the soil, enriches biodiversity and preserves water resources. To achieve this, Marion has chosen agroforestry and aims to plant 693 trees of 33 different species.

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, exclusively reserved for RED by SFR clients, seeks to restore healthy afforestation with more resistant species: the sessile oak, sorb tree and whitebeam, together with a natural increase in birch trees …

In the Haute-Matsiatra region of Madagascar, the Soarano drainage basin is suffering from water shortages at the end of its dry seasons due to severe soil erosion, generating conflict within the Ambalavao community over the use of water for farming and domestic purposes. By planting 25,000 trees, the KOLORANO project aims to disseminate various agroecological practices to boost these these fragile environments and safeguard water and food for the local population.
This project is fully funded by Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque.
In the Sidama area in southern Ethiopia, most of the coffee production is provided by small scale farmers weakened by coffee prices’ variations, difficult weather conditions and a high cost of inputs. The plantation of 297,000 remaining trees in coffee plantations, using an agroforestry model, will ensure the long-term sustainability of family farming, reduce soil erosion, optimise land use and increase revenue for more than 5,500 farmers through the plantation of forest and fruit species.
In Kenya, most of the coffee production is provided by small scale farmers weakened by coffee prices’ variations, difficult weather conditions and a high cost of inputs. Thanks to this project, more than 2,750 smallholder farmers will be trained, over 365,750 remaining trees (including coffee trees) will be planted and more than 11,400 beneficiaries will take advantage of its impacts.
Alexandre, a farmer, and winegrower in the Vaucluse department, is keen to reintroduce 825 trees of 32 different species to his plots of land. Planting hedges around and within the vineyard will protect the vines from the wind and impacts of climate change. A second phase of the project will be to create an edible forest garden by combining market gardening with tall trees on another plot, which will improve biodiversity.

Pierre is a winegrower and cognac producer in Charente. His activities are carried out using organic farming methods. To go further, the winegrower wishes to engage in agroforestry by integrate trees into his vineyards. The planting of 428 trees of about ten different species will help to protect the vines from the effects of climate change, such as excessive heat and late frosts, and to enrich biodiversity.

This project supports and structures the transition of poultry farms to agroforestry by proposing farmers introduce trees to their farms. The installation of 3570 trees of several different species on seven farms aims to improve animal welfare and enrich biodiversity.

In the communal forest of Wegscheid, certain plots are mainly made up of fir and spruce species. Since 2018, these species have suffered from drought and successive attacks from bark beetles. The project aims to replace the diseased spruce trees in Wegscheid forest with a diversity of species more resilient to climate change. This initiative includes an important educational component, too, by involving schoolchildren from the local community. A total of 4,260 trees of nine different species will be planted during two waves of planting.

This project aims to restore the natural resources of the Malagasy coast and to tackle food insecurity through the planting of 7,200 mangrove trees. This project has a strong educational component, as it allows students from surrounding schools to participate in a planting day and to raise awareness of environmental issues throughout the school year.

This project in Canada aims to support Ontario farm families who want to switch to organic farming and restore local ecosystems by planting 3,500 trees. This planting will create ecological corridors to protect local wildlife, improve soil and water quality, and store carbon. This project builds on a first plantation plan in Ontario in 2020.
