Where do you purchase the seeds and seedlings?

We collect most seeds from nearby remnant forests. If required to supplement the seeds we collect, we purchase seeds from local, trusted seed banks. We do not purchase seedlings; we grow our seedlings in our nurseries to ensure quality and germination rates.

Can you start a project in my country?

We are committed to dramatically scaling our tree planting operations in the years and decades to come. As such, we are cautiously open to considering cold-contact requests to open new project nations and/or new project sites within our existing project nations. However, we have established an examination process that typically requires a year or more of careful vetting. This critical examination process includes an evaluation of leadership capacity, scalability of planting operations, and the viability of financial and communication systems essential for success. Further, we are a non-profit organization, which means we depend on donations to fund our work. Therefore, we were not able to start a project unless it meets all the criteria established in the examination process. With all of the above in mind, if you would like your country or site to be considered, please email us at info@eden-plus.org .

What are your guidelines for adding content about our partnership with Eden on our social media and website?

Once you become a partner, we provide a variety of media assets such as photos, videos, and employee stories, depending on your partnership level. Before using any of these assets, please review our partner marketing and communication guidelines which explain what you can and cannot do with our provided assets.

Can I visit the sites? What if I am in the area?

We value each of our donors and appreciate your support. We do not offer the opportunity to visit the sites. We have a responsibility to operate in the best interests of our international employees. We do our best to protect and honor our mission and our employees' goals and culture.

How can I volunteer for a project?

We are incredibly grateful for those who desire to volunteer with us. However, we do not have opportunities for individuals to volunteer at our planting sites. It is our mission to plant trees as well as alleviate extreme poverty. Therefore, it is essential that the planting work is given to those living in extreme poverty in our project nations. Their employment with us is often their only reliable source of income, so we do not have volunteers do any planting work to provide employment to as many people as possible.

I'm really passionate about this and I want to do more. What can I do?
