Every tree we plant has an ID and a story.

A community-led nursery in the Ecuadorian cloud forest. We support local farmers to regenerate the land — one numbered, tracked, native tree at a time.

Science-backed reforestation, community-led.

Every step is documented. Every tree is tracked. Every result is public.

We Plant

Native cloud forest species, selected with local knowledge and planted by community volunteers across Ecuador's Quijos Valley.

We Track

Every single tree receives a unique numbered plate from the moment it's a seedling — traceable from seed to mature canopy.

We Share

Growth data, GPS locations, and species records are publicly accessible. Transparent science for everyone, always.

From seed to canopy — every step documented.

Each phase is recorded by local teams using our mobile app, creating a living archive of the forest's recovery.
