50 Million Trees and Counting: Trees for the Future

(http://www.plant-trees.org) This 8 minute video documents the work of Dave Deppner and Trees for the Future. Communities around the world turn to Trees for the Future for technical knowledge and planting materials so that they can bring degraded lands and struggling farmlands back to sustainable productivity. Since 1988, Trees for the Future (TFTF) has helped thousands of communities in Central America, Africa, and Asia improve their livelihoods and their environment by planting nearly 50 million trees in agroforestry and reforestation projects. Each year these trees remove over one million tons of CO2 from the atmosphere.

Amazingly inspirational video that reinforces the message that we need to get trees back into the ground and we need to motivate more people to plant trees.

I hope one day I can get to meet Mr Deppner so he can see how he has been an inspiration personally to me and also my team at the PATT Foundation

Truly inspirational. One small thing, it doesn't take 10,000 years to produce a rainforest. Much of the rainforest in South America was cultivated land under the early Maya before the classic collapse in 900AD, and there are still irrigation channels underneath the forest. That is just over a 1000 years for the forest to reclaim the land itself and establish one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet. You can grow a food forest in 10 years, a temperate forest in 50, rainforest in 600.

I would like to colaborate with this. We work under tropical forest and agroforestry is our job. We are a group of small farmers in Brasil. We cannot plant millions of trees because we work under existing forest, but there's a lot of plots to recover. Knowledge exchange? Please see our amateur videos "pimenta damata". I'd be grateful for a feedback.

Cagwin & Dorward Landscape Contractors has donated to Trees for the Future for four years. We have helped plant over 100,000 trees in that time. We call it our Chocolate for Trees program. We thought by donating the same money we spent on chocolate and bought trees we would better serve the planet. In our fourth year... we feel very, very good supporting Trees for the Future!
