The GROW MY TREE Blog

In this update, we share the latest progress from our reforestation projects in Tanzania. With nearly 600,000 trees planted, our efforts are restoring critical ecosystems and empowering local communities through sustainable agroforestry. Discover how these initiatives are making a lasting impact on both the environment and local livelihoods.

Grow My Tree by Impact Hero is committed to enabling individuals and companies to contribute to regenerating the world. By focusing on tree planting and other regenerative actions, we can address the climate crisis and biodiversity loss while creating a more sustainable future. Join us in our mission to make a positive impact on our planet.

As we look back, it is clear that reflection is the key to growth. It is a time to celebrate our accomplishments, chart our successes, and plan for even greater impact in the future. 

The blog article emphasizes the importance of planting trees for biodiversity. He highlights that forests are the most diverse habitats and that protecting and restoring forests is crucial to conserving biodiversity. The article explains how trees provide habitats for different species, support the ecosystem, conserve threatened species, provide food sources, support pollinators, contribute to carbon sequestration and maintain genetic diversity. Finally, the article calls for active participation in tree planting initiatives to protect and promote biodiversity.

During the rainy season in April, Omega, our tree planting and regional manager for South East Africa, visited our planting sites in Tanzania. Tanzania is an important country for us, particularly in terms of the fruitful combination of large-scale reforestation with agroforestry initiatives.

Impact Hero is our new brand and the evolution of our organization. Impact Hero offer a wide range of solutions for companies that have a positive impact on the environment. After two successful years of planting over 𝟭.𝟴𝟱 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘀, we are now expanding our portfolio to make an even bigger impact.

Today, we would like to shed some light on the question of how important transparency and trust is for us. Trust is one of the core values we stand for - one which is incredibly important to all our customers, bothprivate andcorporate. Within the tree-planting sector, many insecurities circulate, not least because of negative headlines and misconduct of some players. Scandals around double-counting or unsustainable mono-culture projects are damaging for the whole sector and undermine trust for an activity which plays a crucial role in the fight against climate change and for a more just world. Many therefore ask us what we think about such problems and how we can make sure that such issues do not happen in our projects.

Thanks to you, we made it: We have become tree-‘millionaires’ with more than 1 Million trees planted since our kick-off in 2020! That is a huge milestone which we could not have achieved without you in these short 18 months - and the connected impact is incredible.

Today we want to share with you some of the important take-home messages from the 6th IPCC report, focused on the mitigation of climatechange.

In this blog post, we would love to give you some insights into our recent collaboration with CarbonSpace to measure and optimize the carbon impact of our projects.

After one year of operations, it’s time to reflect. Our Impact Report for the 2020 - 2021 season is finally here and we are excited to share with you the lasting differences we have made together as a community. ZSome key statistics that we can take from our Impact Report include that since the launch of our ever growing community we have planted over 300.000 trees . This means that more than 6.600 tons of CO2 will be sequestered year over year more than 3.000 hours of work have been provided in the Global South, more than 450 hours of education have been provided and 1,5 million m² of land restored.
