We specialize in helping communities to reforest degraded lands and implement agroforestry projects. We are people-helping-people improve their livelihoods through environmentally sustainable land management projects that protect the environment that we all share.

Trees minimize soil erosion, supply forage for animals, and provide a source of fuel wood, but planting trees is difficult when the canopy has disappeared, topsoil has been eroded, and the climate and growing conditions have changed.

Through our network of technicians, volunteers, and community leaders world-wide, our program reaches even the most remote areas and gives local people the knowledge and ability to rehabilitate their environment. Since 1988, Trees for the Future has helped thousands of communities in Latin America, Africa, and Asia improve their livelihoods and their environment by planting nearly 50 million trees in agroforestry and reforestation projects.
