Total Number Of Trees Planted To Date
There are a multitude of reasons for planting trees, but it must be done right. Trees help clean the air we breathe, filter the water we drink, and provide habitat to over 80% of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity. Forests also provide jobs to over 1.6 billion people, absorb harmful carbon from the atmosphere, and are key ingredients in 25% of all medicines. Discover more about the importance of reforestation and the six pillars that explain why trees are vital at OneTreePlanted.
Mini Tree Certificate Details
Dig this: Every Badger Anniversary Issue canoe paddle includes a mini Tree Certificate with a handwritten number that coincides with the OneTreePlanted (OTP) certificates shown below. The mini format details the official OTP certificate number and where your tree is in the count for that particular tree planting initiative (as shown in the example images above). This way, you can cross reference your certificate number for the sake of interest and transparency!
Badger purchases seedlings for various OneTreePlanted initiatives throughout the year.
