ABOUT US
Inspiring restoration.
We envision a world in which it is normal for everyone to protect and restore themselves and their world.
Our Vision
Is to ethically expand green cover of our world.
Our Mission
To work in harmony with trees and their communities for the planet to survive and thrive.
Our Unique Approach
Our approach is one of a holistic project portfolio. This means that when you donate to us, you contribute to a carefully and well-vetted project portfolio that supports planting across 10 locations. We view each project as contributing equal value to make up the whole, with a particular focus on women's empowerment and working with local and indigenous communities and supporting their needs.
TreeSisters is a UK-registered social change and reforestation charity that places tropical forest restoration into everyone's hands.
Through individuals and businesses that give back to nature every month, TreeSisters has so far funded planting over 27 million trees across different planting projects in Brazil, Borneo, Cameroon, India, Kenya, Mozambique, Madagascar, Nepal and West Papua.
We fund a diverse portfolio of tropical reforestation projects that are ethical, community-led, expand natural forest cover and aim to avoid further deforestation. Our projects support local communities and improve livelihoods, protect critically endangered species, and focus on gender parity and the participation of women. They are a direct and measurable way to restore the web of life and mitigate climate change. We aim to tackle the root cause of climate change by reconnecting everyone to nature and encouraging the cultural shift required to grow from a consumer to a restorative culture.
Our Values
Our values are important to us and ingrained into everything we do from our Green Cover Strategy, to our Ethical Tree Growing Framework and behavioural change work.
Harmony
To work in collaboration to build positive relationships.
Integrity
To be honest and trustworthy in everything we do.
Wisdom
To transform knowledge into positive action.
Respect
To welcome all people and communities, regardless of where they are on the journey.
Courage
To inspire change and the protection of inherent rights.
Seasonal Organisational Flow
We respect the planet's natural cycles and the seasons it brings. By aligning with them and choosing to work 'with' the natural energies rather than over-ride or dominate them, we find a stronger connection to nature.
Our Culture
Each day – no matter how imperfectly – we seek to create an organisational culture in which we listen to life, cooperate, and follow the wisdom of Nature's cyclical rhythms.
Restoration begins from within to create a place for our capacity to learn and centre nature in everything we do.
This is why we have created an organisational flow of activities that runs with the solar cycle; our work directly relates to the seasonal flow and its inherent support for specific activities. We also craft our weekly team planning around the lunar cycle so that our way of working deepens our connection to our cyclical nature instead of severing it.
