Plant A Tree

We Crowdsourced A Tiny Forest.

In 2023, we partnered with several community and international organizations to start a 100sqft Tiny Forest.

(Spoiler alert: it's growing.)

Our Manifesto

"...Let's do something crazy. Let's crowdsource a forest."

Our Methodology

Because it's not enough to plant a tree and hope it survives.

Our Vision

Imagining the Tiny Forest in a few years, decades—or even centuries.

We believe picking up a shovel is better than doomscrolling.

In 2021, our founder carried her daughter on her back and planted a single tree.

Since then, we've raised more than $7,000 to plant a Tiny Forest for People, Pollinators, and the Planet.

How You Can Help

We're extending the Tiny Forest by 1,000 square feet—or ~270 plants—by 2025.
