About Tree-NationTree-Nation is the largest reforestation platform that allows citizens and companies to plant trees all around the world and offset their CO2 emissions. We use technology to make tree planting easy. Tree-Nation invented the virtual tree, the online forest, and many other software tools in order to provide a unique technological solution aimed at shortening the distance between remote projects and their sponsors, between people and companies that want to plant trees and don't know how to, and expert planters around the world who can take care of that. Since our beginning in 2006, over 700,000 users and more than 20,000 companies have planted 40 million trees using our platform and we have successfully onboarded 50 reforestation projects all around the world.
