Being a treesister is a way of life. When we feel this deep in our bones, our lives naturally begin to change, in the choices that we make and the way that we decide to show up in the world. This behaviour changing work is core to the ignition of the reforestation revolution we stand for, and it is speaking up for the voiceless.

Your monthly membership will fund the planting of mangroves in Madagascar, forest corridors in Brazil, agroforestry in India, watershed restoration in Kenya, dry deciduous in Madagascar,  an ecological corridor in Cameroon, cloud forests in Khasi Hills, India, forest cover in Nepal, mangroves for estuaries in Mozambique, and a forest garden for an indigenous tribe in Amazonia. We will also be adding more projects to our portfolio as we grow. Each of our projects serves their local communities and ecosystems in ways that make the gift of giving even more meaningful.

Why trees?

The forests need us now more than ever.

According to the World Resources Institute, more than 80 percent of Earth's original forests already have been destroyed.

The effects of deforestation are vast. The devastating loss of species (seventy per cent of the Earth's land animals and plants reside in forests) and soil fertility, loss of stream, rivers and rainfall, loss of protection against storms, tidal surges, drought and flood, even fish stocks (in the case of mangroves) all of which reflect in loss of liveable lands and livelihoods. Remove trees and life literally moves out, and the cycles of poverty hit women the hardest.

When we let the truth sink into our bones and let our hearts crack open, we feel ourselves being called into our sacred feminine roles as protectors, restorers, and life-givers for future generations.
