Offsetting your family’s carbon footprint for decades to come
If you don’t own the land to plant trees yourself, we will do it for you
Adopt just one tree for yourself or as a gift and you could offset 2.4 metric tons of CO2 over the lifecycle of the tree.
2.4 metric tons of CO2 is equivalent to:
9,600Km
Driving 9,600 kilometres in a car (radius of the Earth)
11,500Km
Flying 11,500 kilometres in an aeroplane
68,000Km
Travelling 68,000 kilometres on a train

Drinking 2,315 takeaway café lattes
We hope that you will join us on our mission to plant new trees by personally adopting a tree or purchasing an adoption
as a gift.

What does ‘adopting a tree’ mean?
Adopting a tree with us means that we plant a new tree on your behalf and in your name. You will be helping to restore bushland that has been cleared and to create green tree-filled spaces in urban areas. You will also reduce your carbon footprint by decreasing the CO2 levels in our atmosphere.
Your tree will be planted at a predetermined location that you can see on our planting zone map. The trees are young Eucalyptus seedlings with a life expectancy of 60 years or more. We tag each tree that is planted with the name of the adopter or gift recipient (unless declined by adopter) and provide each adopter with a planting certification and exact GPS coordinates for their tree.

Planting Guide
How does adopting a tree help the environment?
Planting new trees contributes to capturing and storing CO2 which helps reverse climate change, and provides new wooded green spaces in our inner-city areas
What happens after I adopt a tree?
Additionally, all planting zones are on publicly accessible land, which means that adopters and gift recipients can visit their adopted tree anytime over the tree’s lifecycle.
Can I visit my adopted tree?
Unique GPS Coordinates
Yes, you can visit your adopted tree at any time because our planting zones are in publicly accessible areas. You will be provided with the unique GPS coordinates for your tree, and each tree has a unique adopter or gift recipient thankyou tag attached to its stake or tree-guard (unless tag is declined by adopter).

Who can adopt a tree?
A great Christmas or Birthday gift.
Although many individuals and businesses may want to plant trees to help create greener spaces and reverse climate change, they simply do not have the space or resources available to plant a tree themselves. We provide the tree adoption service for these people, as well as for individuals who want to give a tree adoption to a loved one as a Christmas or Birthday gift.
What are the environmental benefits of Adopting a Tree?
Humans emit more than 35 billion tons of CO2 into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels each year
Trees capture this CO2. Adopting just one tree, you can offset up to 2.4 metric tons of CO2.
Individuals around the world now recognise that climate change is real and that deforestation is real
Governments are not moving fast enough to replant deforested areas
