“As the largest global carbon reforestation platform, we believe trees are the most scalable solution for removing carbon from the atmosphere. Along with our 500+ landowners, we have planted over 42 million trees on 120,000 acres of land. Today, we stand ready to connect velocity and scale to forests and carbon by pledging to plant an additional 100 million trees through reforestation, nursery, and mitigation banking businesses. When we plant trees, we plant hope!”

“The world is facing a critical time for the health of its people, wildlife, and environment. We are proud to partner with 1t.org and their global movement to help conserve, restore, and grow 1 trillion trees by 2030.”

“We are excited to be part of the U.S. Chapter of 1t.org as we strive to reach the goal we set in 2018 to plant one million trees across the United States over the next decade with American Forests. Our Million Trees initiative is a new and creative approach to philanthropic giving that helps support our mission to connect to the communities where our teams live and work. We are proud to be taking steps to make a positive impact on our environment and leaving a tangible legacy that will benefit our communities into the next century.”

“America’s family forest owners, who own the largest chunk of America’s forests, are an important piece of achieving the trillion trees goal. Family forest owners can contribute by planting news trees, and are also essential in maintaining our existing trees on the landscape. That’s why we at the American Forest Foundation are pleased to support the U.S Chapter of 1t.org with a pledge to continue to expand our work with family landowners, partners, and funders.”

“American Forests has worked with others to plant 60 million trees in the last 30 years. That’s great, but it is just a start. To address the increasing threats to our nation’s forests, we will plant 100 million more trees in the next 10 years. We are doing so because forests are the best nature-based solution to climate change. As these 100 million trees grow, they will remove more than 30 million metric tons of carbon dioxide from our atmosphere over the next 50 years – the equivalent of taking 134,000 cars off the road over this same time period and preventing 3.5 billion gallons of gasoline from burning.”

“American Forests is committed to creating Tree Equity so that all people, in all U.S. city neighborhoods, benefit from trees. It’s exciting to be part of a community of forest champions – the 1t.org U.S. Chapter – that will help us do so. With support from this community, we are confident we will reach the goal set out in our pledge, which is planting and protecting 1.2 million trees in cities across the country by 2030.”

“Never has there been a more urgent need for trees to protect people and our planet.  The Arbor Day Foundation is helping drive the current tree planting movement through our 100 million tree Time for Trees® initiative.

We commit to advancing the ambition of citizens, governments, and corporate leaders to achieve these transformational goals.”

“Trees are the first line of defense and one of the best nature based solutions to tackle climate change. Reforestation provides effective carbon capture, biodiversity and other environmental benefits, while also producing jobs and increasing tree equity in LMI communities and urban areas. As a partner of the 1t.org initiative, we will help develop the voluntary carbon offset market which can lead to more tree planting and restoration projects.” 

“Boise is committed to growing its tree canopy by more than 100% over the next ten years by planting a tree for every household in the city by 2030. It’s an ambitious goal, but one everyone can understand and get behind. We are excited for Boise be a lead innovator, not just nationally, but around the world by joining the trillion trees platform to mitigate climate impacts at home and around the world.”

“The Chicago Region Trees Initiative is a coalition of more than 200 organizations working together to improve the health of the urban forest.  We recognize that partnerships are critical to achieving success and we see the trillion trees platform as an opportunity to expand our partnering to connect to a global network and goals that are in alignment with our own goals and objectives. Together we can have a significant measurable impact on the world.”

“As a company of people who love the outdoors, Clif Bar is supporting 1t.org with a commitment to plant 1 million trees across North America by 2025.  Forests are essential to our health, but they’re being lost with alarming speed. Healthy forests clean our air, restore watersheds, provide critical wildlife habitat, create millions of jobs, and improve people’s well-being. Every time we plant a tree, we plant a climate solution!”

“The City of Dallas’s efforts to conserve, restore, and grow trees focuses on sustained stewardship, capacity-building, and social and ecological responsibility.
