Do you care about the environment? Would you like to take action and make a difference? There is an easy step that you can take: plant a tree!
At Life Terra, we have the tools, knowledge and expertise to provide you with a fantastic tree-planting experience, and we believe that community involvement is the first step.
Come and join us, we need as much help as possible to get trees in the ground!
It’s not only about planting trees! At a Life Terra event, we want you to learn about trees and the environment while enjoying a day in nature with your family and friends. You will learn about the project, what species we plant and why, and specific characteristics of the planting area. Ready to learn? You can start now!
Who is involved in a Life Terra event?
To make this event a success, we make sure to prepare everything needed: ordering the tree seedlings and its maintenance before planting, the search and preparation of the plot, the planting plan, arranging the material and tools needed, etc. This process involves a great amount of work and people behind the scenes:
Landowner: we search for the right place to plant and involve the landowner during the whole planting process and selecting the species right for the area. At Life Terra, we only work with landowners who commit to maintaining the new trees over the long term to take advantage of the ecosystem benefits they provide.
Nurseries: we work with local nurseries to order the saplings and we maintain the seedlings until the event day.
Local authorities: on some occasions, we work hand-in-hand with local authorities to ensure we follow the local procedures. They also provide us with logistics support in the area: manpower, tools and materials, access to land, etc.
Terra Leaders (volunteers): Terra Leaders are volunteers that lead Life Terra events in their local communities. This figure is key to achieving our large-scale goals. We identify, contact, engage and train Terra Leaders, and assign them to the closest events.
Event Leader: the person from the Life Terra team who is responsible for a specific event and in charge of the logistics: managing the local Terra Leaders, and in contact with the landowner, the nursery and the local authorities.
