Tree planting
Overview
With the More Trees platform, you can plant trees for:
- Yourself, as an individual
- A business or business department
- Others (such as customers, clients, employees and family)
There are four methods of planting on the platform:
-
Manual – planting directly on the platform (best when planting for
yourself/business or a small number of people)
-
Bulk upload – uploading a spreadsheet/CSV file to the platform (best
when planting for a larger number of people)
-
Automation – automatically planting trees (best when planting upon
certain triggers)
- Subscription – automatically planting trees every month
