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.

In the valley of the river Zio, the soil is extremely degraded and so largely infertile for subsistence crops (taros, yams…). The villagers also lack fuelwood and lumber. Together let’s plant 40,000 fertiliser trees in 4 villages to provide the inhabitants with food and wood, and to protect the gallery forest of the river Zio.
In this small village of 600 inhabitants, the soil is extremely degraded and so largely infertile for subsistence crops (taros, yams…). The villagers also lack fuelwood and lumber. Together let’s plant trees to provide the villagers with food and wood, and to protect the gallery forest of the river Zio.
In the sensitive area of Itasy Lake, the Mahavotra project is helping 700 farm families to change their practices towards agroecology and the establishment of forest and agroforestry systems.
1 stable tree: 1.74
Objective: 108000 stable trees amounting to 187920
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.
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.
Let’s help the Lisu and Naxi minorities recover their ancestral skills in gathering and preparing medicinal plants, in addition to planting fruit trees and trees that benefit the soil, water, and biodiversity.
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.

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.

At The Real Food Fight farm everything is organic farm certified (Agriculture Biologique, AB), horses have replaced tractors, and the bread is baked on site using traditional cereals. Let’s help Andy continue transforming his farm into an agroforestry 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!

The parcel of the Bâtie houses the planting project of 948 trees for the Grenoble Saint-Ismier Landscape School. It wishes to promote organic farming in the training of young farmers in order to develop their practices towards agro-ecology. It also aims to set up agro-forestry systems.
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.
The Dhamma Rakhsa project aims to help small organic rice producers in the Isan region to diversify their incomes and regenerate the ecosystems on which they depend. In this region, soils and biodiversity are in serious need of enrichment. The project includes planting a community forest and establishing an agroforestry system in the rice fields.
This pioneering project in France aims to enrich existing biodiversity and ensure a future for a young market gardener. The planting of trees of more than 60 species, from fruit trees to energy wood trees, will also contribute to soil enrichment and erosion control.
