SKOOT's relationship with Eden Reforestation Projects

Eden Reforestation Project has been our trusted tree planting partner since the very beginning of SKOOT. When we first set out to find the right people to help us on our mission to plant trees, they needed to be reputable, and we trusted them to plant the trees they promised.

Eden was the clear choice for us.

Eden has written agreements from all Governments in the countries they work in and work at all levels designating the restoration sites as protected in perpetuity. Through their initiatives, they not only help rebuild the planet but also uplift communities living on it.

Eden hires local people to plant trees, helping alleviate extreme poverty within the impacted communities. Fair and constant employment also provides an economic incentive to ensure the well-being of the restoration project. Additionally, those who plant the trees have a sense of "ownership" over the restored forests, so they protect them with great care. Forest guards are employed as part of the project labor force to look after the forests and are part of the cost we pay to Eden. 1% of the price of each tree is paid into the "Forest Guard Endowment Fund" for the long-term guarding and protection of every Eden site.
