We're restoring Earth's forests one tree at a time — partnering with local communities in 18 countries to fight climate change and rebuild ecosystems.
Every dollar donated to EcoRoot goes directly into the ground — literally. We partner with local communities to plant native species that last generations.
EcoRoot was founded in 2013 with a simple belief: that restoring forests is the most powerful thing humanity can do to fight climate change. We don't just plant trees — we restore entire ecosystems.
We work exclusively with indigenous communities, paying fair wages and using only native species selected by local ecologists. Every tree is GPS-tagged, photographed at planting, and monitored annually.

Ecologists choose degraded land in one of our 18 active regions where trees will have the highest climate impact.
Local planters — paid fair wages — plant native seedlings selected by regional ecologists for maximum survival.
GPS tracking, annual photos, and survival reporting. You receive updates on your tree every year.
When the Tana River dried up in 2019, farmers in Meru County lost everything. Three years after EcoRoot arrived, the watershed is recovering and so is the community.
Indigenous-led teams are restoring 12,000 acres of boreal forest burned in the historic 2023 wildfire season.
Partnering with local communities to bring back the rainforest — and the wildlife that depends on it.
Your gift doesn't just plant a tree — it creates jobs, restores water cycles, supports wildlife, and pulls CO₂ from the air for decades.
From donors to local planters, our community spans 18 countries and 42,000 people.
"I planted a tree in my grandmother's name. A year later I got a photo and GPS coordinates. It's the most meaningful gift I've ever given."
"EcoRoot gave our community steady income during the dry season. Now we protect the forest because it's ours — and it feeds our families."
"Our company offset 200 tonnes of CO₂ and got detailed reports on every tree. The transparency is unlike any other carbon program I've seen."
