Our values
Our Values
Integrity & transparency
We report honestly, label plans as plans, and never present estimates or stock photographs as achievements.
Science-informed
Our guidance draws on established environmental science and local ecological knowledge, explained plainly.
Protection first
Keeping healthy trees and natural habitats intact comes before — and is never replaced by — new planting.
Long-term care
A tree planted is a promise. We plan for years of aftercare, not a single planting day.
Community-led
Lasting stewardship comes from local people who understand, own and care for their green spaces.
Inclusion & safety
Activities should be welcoming, accessible and safe for participants of all ages and backgrounds.
Our approach
Our Approach
The foundation's activities are planned to follow these four steps, so that the trees we plant survive and communities stay involved.
Understand the place
Learn about the local landscape, existing trees, soil, water, wildlife and the people who use the space — and obtain the necessary permissions.
Protect what exists
Identify mature trees and natural habitats worth protecting, and address threats such as paving, damage or neglect.
Plant thoughtfully
Where planting is appropriate, choose suitable native species, prepare sites properly and plant at the right time.
Care, measure & share
Provide aftercare, check survival honestly, and publish what worked and what did not so others can learn.
