Donate a tree and support the forests of tomorrow

In a nutshell

MyBlueTree – Swiss forests fit for the future

Through our MyBlueTree project, we work with local foresters to plant climate-resilient tree species suited to their location in Swiss forests. In doing so, we promote biodiversity and help our forests adapt to the challenges of climate change.

 

A tree costs CHF 40.–. Why?

• There’s more to a planted tree than just a sapling. With your donation, you’re supporting:
• The right tree in the right place: Together with foresters, we select suitable sites and climate-resilient tree species.
• Planting and care: We organise the saplings, ensure they are planted professionally and provide the necessary care.
• Diverse and resilient forests: Through a targeted selection of species, we promote biodiversity and strengthen the forests in the long term.
• Environmental education and engagement: Through joint planting campaigns, we raise awareness of the importance of our forests and motivate people to take action themselves.

Whether as a Christmas present for your family, friends or work colleagues – with CHF 40.–, you can help plant and care for a tree in Switzerland. Perhaps you’d even like to give the gift of several trees and help a small forest to grow?

You decide for yourself how much you’d like to donate. Every contribution helps us to make Switzerland’s forests fit for the future.

Why are trees important for climate protection?

Trees convert CO2 to oxygen during leaf respiration and store the carbon. They therefore remove carbon dioxide from our atmosphere, which we humans emit in excessive quantities. But trees also play a role in maintaining biodiversity by providing a home for birds and insects. We are also grateful for trees that provide shade on hot summer days and cool our overheated cities. Trees are often planted symbolically and ceremonially, such as for the birth of a child, the death of a loved one, or to seal a friendship or collaboration. However, it is not only the planting of new trees that is important, but also the care and preservation of existing forests - in Switzerland and worldwide. Because dead and processed trees release the stored CO2 back into the atmosphere.

Your impact

If you want to give trees a voice, help us spread the word about the importance of climate and environmental protection in Switzerland. You have the opportunity to choose which areas of MyBlueTree you would like to support.

• With a donation you support our efforts to plant trees in Swiss forests and climate protection in hearts.
• With a donation of CHF 40, we will take care of planting and positioning a sapling for you ourselves.
• You can also actively participate in tree planting events and help directly.
• If you know of places that would be suitable for tree planting, you can contact us.
