Our Shared Vision and Passion

Do You Love Trees?

We are a group of individuals who love trees and believe that they provide our communities with many amazing services. We advocate the planting of trees and the protection of forests across the globe.

Through the dedication of donors and volunteers like yourself, and thanks to an immense network of Rotarians and their families, The proFellowship of the Trees plans to help Rotarians and likeminded people plant over 1 Billion Trees around the world.

Our Core Beliefs:

  • Planting trees has myriad benefits to the people, cultures, and ecosystems in and around the area of planting

  • Trees sequester carbon and play an integral role in mitigating the negative effects of carbon in the environment

  • Trees contribute to the global water cycle by increasing rainfall and reducing soil erosion.

  • Tree planting connects people with nature.

  • Collaboration and international cooperation are crucial for successful tree-planting initiatives.

  • Each tree we plant should be given every chance to reach maturity; through a combination of ecosystem matching, ongoing support, and demonstrating the societal benefits of the trees, we hope to facilitate survivability and sustainability to the tree we plant

  • Education and awareness are key to inspiring action on environmental issues.

  • Involving young people in tree-planting projects fosters a love for nature and environmental responsibility.

  • Rotary International has a unique role to play in global tree-planting efforts.

  • The Fellowship of the Trees is a platform for Rotarians and other likeminded individuals to make a significant impact on the environment.

“The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago. The second best time is now.”

― Chinese Proverb
