Why plant trees
Tree planting and reforestation can restore degraded land, reconnect habitats, support biodiversity and strengthen local communities. The strongest projects use locally appropriate species, involve people on the ground and monitor progress over time. Explore Ecologi’s assessed tree planting projects and find practical ways to support forests and communities through the Impact Marketplace.

Tree planting
Restores forests, supports biodiversity and helps remove carbon from the atmosphere over time while creating benefits for local communities.
Habitat restoration
Restores wetlands, grasslands and other ecosystems to protect wildlife, improve natural systems and support resilient communities.
Carbon avoidance
Reduces greenhouse gas emissions by supporting projects that prevent emissions from entering the atmosphere.
Carbon removal
Removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and stores it through natural or technological processes.

The benefits of tree planting
Tree planting can support climate action, restore nature and create lasting benefits for people and communities.
Climate
Tree planting supports climate action by removing and storing carbon as forests grow, while protecting existing forests can help avoid emissions. Ecologi assesses how projects measure carbon, manage permanence and monitor results over time.
Nature
Restoring native forests can improve soil health, water cycles and habitat for wildlife. Projects are selected for their potential to strengthen whole ecosystems, not simply increase the number of trees planted.
People
Well designed tree planting projects can create local jobs, strengthen livelihoods and involve communities in decisions about land and natural resources. Supporting local leadership helps projects deliver benefits that last beyond planting.

How we assess tree planting projects
Ecologi uses its Nature Projects Assessment Framework to assess tree planting projects for ecological quality, community benefits and delivery risk.
1. Initial due diligence
We review each project’s ecological rationale, delivery partner, land protection, governance, stakeholder engagement and safeguarding practices. We also assess local conditions and delivery risks, including natural hazards, climate risks and partner capability, to identify unsuitable projects early and focus funding on initiatives with a credible plan for lasting outcomes.
2. Project scoring
Projects are assessed across biodiversity, ecosystem services, socioeconomic impacts and governance. We review evidence of their potential to restore habitats, improve ecosystem functions, benefit communities and support responsible management, then adjust the assessment for delivery risk so projects can be compared consistently across different ecosystems and locations.
3. Monitoring and reporting
We review project updates, monitoring evidence, remote sensing, field information and third party validation where available. This helps us track progress, understand whether intended outcomes are being delivered and report transparently on activities, results, challenges and risks to Ecologi and the people who fund projects.

Frequently asked questions
What makes a high-quality tree planting project?
High-quality tree planting projects have several characteristics: they plant native species suited to the local environment, involve and benefit local communities, monitor survival rates over time, and take a holistic approach to landscape restoration – not just planting trees in isolation.
The best schemes also address threats like fire, drought, and grazing animals, and have contingency plans to replant if survival rates drop. At Ecologi, all our reforestation partners meet these criteria. We conduct detailed due diligence before funding any project and monitor sites using satellite technology to track growth and detect risks.
How does Ecologi monitor tree survival?
We use a two-tier monitoring approach. First, our reforestation partners conduct regular on-the-ground assessments, reporting survival rates and project outcomes every six months. Second, Ecologi uses satellite monitoring technology through Earth Blox to track vegetation growth, forest health, and hazards like fire and drought across all project sites.
If survival rates fall below agreed thresholds, our partners replant trees at no extra cost. This dual approach ensures accountability and gives you confidence that the trees you fund are actually growing and contributing to ecosystem restoration. All updates are shared transparently with our community.
Where does Ecologi plant trees?
Ecologi funds tree planting across 18 countries on three continents, working with 11 reforestation partners. Our projects span the UK, Madagascar, Mozambique, Kenya, Ethiopia, Senegal, Morocco, Nicaragua, Brazil, USA, Australia, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, Argentina, Chile, and more.
You can choose to fund trees in specific regions (such as native tree planting in the UK) or support our global project and Impact Funds, which direct funding to a range of landscape restoration projects chosen for their ecological and social impact.
How much does it cost to plant a tree through Ecologi?
Tree planting costs vary by location and project type, reflecting the real costs of quality reforestation. Prices range from £0.60 per tree for global projects to £5.45 per tree for Brazilian native planting.
Why the difference? UK projects involve higher labour costs and more expensive native species. Projects in other regions can often plant trees more affordably while still delivering high-quality, community-led restoration. All pricing is transparent and covers not just planting, but also site preparation, monitoring, community engagement, and long-term stewardship – everything needed for trees to survive and ecosystems to thrive.
