You can now plant trees in the US 🌳

For this project, our partner Veritree is working together with American Forests and the Oregon Department of Forestry to help mitigate the impact of the 2020 Labour Day windstorms which resulted in five simultaneous mega fires in Oregon and 12 other smaller scale fires. The series of fires destroyed the bulk of Oregon’s timber harvest and future timber supply. Local communities were displaced and critical habitats for wildlife were lost.

Restoration impact

Given the nature and extent of the Labour Day fires, restoration efforts will be a long, multi-year process. The trees being planted are carefully selected to represent the local ecosystem and assist with natural regeneration. They include Douglas-fir, Noble-fir and Western Red Cedar. The goal of this project is to restore the wildlife habitat for species such as Deer, Elk, Cougar, Bear, Trout and Spotted Owl.
