One Tree Planted

One Tree Planted is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2014 and headquartered in Shelburne, Vermont. Its stated purpose is global reforestation, structured so that individuals and businesses can contribute to environmental restoration through tree planting. The organisation works across four areas of activity: reforestation, ecosystem restoration, biodiversity monitoring, site identification and analysis, and seedling production.

The group runs a global tree planting and reforestation programme built around planned restoration projects. Each project follows a defined sequence of site identification and analysis, seedling production, planting, and a three-year monitoring period intended to confirm tree survival and long-term effects on biodiversity and human wellbeing. Operations extend across 84 countries, delivered through more than 489 planting organisation partnerships. Project sites include degraded landscapes, climate-critical regions and Key Biodiversity Areas.

Delivery depends on collaboration with Indigenous nations, local nonprofits and regional coalitions, with decisions informed by ecological expertise and community priorities. The organisation describes its culture as mission-driven, with a shared focus on making environmental action simple and accessible and a stated belief in the power of trees to restore damaged ecosystems.
