Our mission is to create a sustainable future by launching a company and website dedicated to reforesting areas in need.

by Restoring Forests in London, Greater London, United Kingdom

 We aim to accumulate funds that will directly support tree planting initiatives, helping to restore ecosystems and improve air quality.

Project Overview

Our project focuses on establishing a platform that will enable individuals and organizations to contribute to large-scale reforestation efforts. By harnessing the power of crowdfunding and community engagement, we intend to make a significant impact on climate change and foster a cleaner, healthier planet for future generations.

Key Objectives

Reforestation Initiatives

We plan to partner with local communities and environmental organizations to identify areas most in need of reforestation. Our goal is to plant diverse, native species that will enhance biodiversity and create resilient ecosystems.    

Sustainable Funding Model

Through our website, we will create various donation tiers and sponsorship opportunities, allowing people to contribute according to their means. We'll also explore innovative funding methods such as carbon offset programs and corporate partnerships.            

Community Engagement

Our project will not only focus on planting trees but also on educating and involving local communities. We aim to create green jobs and provide training in sustainable forestry practices, similar to successful projects like "Huella del Futuro" in Costa Rica.1737591400_paulonia.jpg

Transparency and Accountability1737591422_paulownia_plantacia.jpg

We commit to providing regular updates on our reforestation efforts, including the number of trees planted, areas covered, and the impact on local air quality. This transparency will build trust with our supporters and ensure the effective use of funds.

By supporting our project, you'll be contributing to a greener future, improved air quality, and the fight against climate change. Together, we can make a lasting difference in restoring our planet's forests and creating a more sustainable world. 

Here's a short example of a reforestation project using Paulownia trees:

Paulownia Reforestation Project

Plantations to be dominated by fast-growing Paulownia tree, which is estimated to store up to 10 times more CO2 than mixed woodland.

Location: 200-hectare degraded farmland in UK and South Europe:

  • Planting: May-June 2025 and 2026
  • First harvest: 2032 (7 years)
  • Subsequent harvests: Every 10 years

Planting Details:

  • 75% Paulownia hybrids (Phoenix One variety)
  • 15% native woodland species
  • 10% grassland for biodiversity

Expected Outcomes:

  • Carbon sequestration: ~67 carbon units per hectare annually1737591135_1735343929525.png
  • Total CO2 absorption: ~150,000 tonnes in first 10 years
  • Timber production: First harvest after 7 years1737591260_carbon-plantations-679x419_(1).png
  • Biodiversity enhancement: Native species and grassland attract wildlife

Additional Benefits:

  • Soil improvement and erosion prevention
  • Potential for intercropping in early years1737591283_p2.jpg
  • Local sustainable timber source

This project demonstrates Paulownia's potential for rapid reforestation, significant carbon sequestration, and sustainable timber production while also supporting biodiversity and soil health
