'StorQuest For A Cause’ Spotlight: One Tree Planted

One Dollar Plants One Tree

Headquartered in Shelburne, Vermont, One Tree Planted makes it simple for individuals and businesses to get involved with ways to help the environment. Planting trees in areas devastated by destructive events like fire, drought, and floods helps ecological systems recover and nearby communities thrive. Through their collaborative efforts with local communities and partners, One Tree Planted has successfully planted an astounding 15 million trees globally in 2023 alone!

Social Responsibility

Partnering with One Tree Planted is our way of saying we care about the planet and are going the extra mile to positively impact the world around us. Think about it like sprinkling a little extra kindness into the corporate mix to make the world a better place to work and play. Through our "Rent One, Plant One Tree" initiative, our joint efforts have netted 142,000 new trees in the very communities we serve. Additionally, we partner with several other admirable environmental organizations, which allows us to demonstrate our commitment to preserve the wild habitats and natural wonders wherever you call home.

Benefiting Communities World Wide

As we mentioned, One Tree Planted successfully planted over 15 million trees globally in one year. Contributing to their success is planning for a variety of tree species tailored to the specific environmental needs in different regions around the world. These reforestation projects span across continents, including North America, South America, Africa, Asia, and Australia, aiming to restore ecosystems, prevent soil erosion, improve air quality, and provide habitat for wildlife. Plus, tree planting projects often involve local communities, which means they help bring people together to promote community engagement and empowerment.

Urban Forestry

According to the organization American Forests, “Over 140 million acres of America’s forests are located in cities and towns.” So, Urban forestry is all about taking care of trees and green spaces in cities large and small, and it's pretty awesome because planting trees in urban areas has a lot of benefits. For example, it provides shade, makes public spaces more inviting, improves air quality, and helps reduce the urban heat island effect. Planting and caring for trees in our built environments also provides opportunities for neighbors to come together and work together.

The bottom line is that urban forestry creates more sustainable and livable cities for us and future generations. So, let's help make our planet greener and healthier by planting a tree together.
