Frequently asked questions
TreeSisters is a UK-registered social change and reforestation charity which has so far funded the ethical planting of over 27 million trees across 12 locations. We advocate for nature and work to tackle the root cause of climate change by educating and inspiring everyone on the importance of reconnecting and living in alignment with our natural environment.
All the work we do is made possible by the generosity of our donors. The most impactful way to support this work is by donating or fundraising.
We appreciate times are hard and that not everyone may be in a position to donate or raise funds for our work. Talking to people about our mission and spreading the word can also make a big difference!
We currently run several social network sites; you can find us across Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube. Feel free to join and get social!
Studies have found that people with a high level of connection to nature are more likely to act in environmentally friendly ways. We believe connecting with and caring for nature is the first step needed to spark the changes needed in society to mitigate climate change. Reconnecting with nature could include getting involved in a planting project, going for a walk or just sitting outdoors and appreciating nature in all its beauty.
TreeSisters is for everyone. TreeSisters has a particular focus on women as research shows that women face disproportionate impacts from climate change due to underlying socioeconomic, political, and legal barriers. TreeSisters want to empower more women into leadership positions, particularly concerning the environment, and only work with planting partners with a workforce that includes and values women. Supporting and empowering women is vital in the fight against climate change.
TreeSisters also work to support everyone, regardless of gender, to reconnect with nature. Connecting with nature is essential for us all to make the behavioural and social shift needed to reverse the devastating impacts of climate change and the overconsumption of our planet's precious materials.
