Our Trusted Tree Planting Partners – Veritree & Forest Focus
Veritree
Veritree is a tree planting organisation, created to scale restorative actions embedded in trust and transparency using technology.
They co-create tree planting projects using ground-level technology, a science-based restoration framework, and remote sensing capabilities, in partnership with local communities.
Importantly to us, and our users:
• All impact is verified, centralised and digitalised on a blockchain ledger
• Carbon, biodiversity, water, soil and socioeconomic impact are verified and monitored using on-the-ground and remote sensing technologies.
• Real-time data is collected from the field and uploaded onto a partner portal, including planting updates, images, videos, planting paths, trail camera footage and more.
Forest Focus
Forest Focus is a tree planting organisation on a mission to resolve extreme poverty and alleviate the effects of climate change.
They help rural communities plant agroforestry trees to secure food and income while restoring and protecting local forests. In addition, they:
• Use traditional soil revitalisation methods, which are proven to be effective, economical and easily implemented by local villagers.
• Ensure 20% of all trees planted are agroforestry trees including marketable nut, fruit and spice trees.
• Donate a percentage of each tree sale towards community development projects aimed to minimise the impact of extreme poverty.

ePlant tree chips
eDNA samples
Drone mapping
Satellite imagery
Photogrammetry
All impact is then verified, centralised and digitalised on a blockchain ledger.
