Planting Trees to Help Curb Climate Change

January 01, 2021

Planting trees can help us curb the effects of climate change — and that's just one of many reasons why TNC has a goal to plant a billion trees across some of the our planet's most critical forests.

Help Us Plant a Billion Trees

Plant Your Tree

To help in the effort, TNC has partnered with Electrolux to support our Plant a Billion Trees campaign. Our goal it to plant trees in U.S. forests and help educate consumers about the important role trees play in providing us with clean air, fresh drinking water, and habitat for both humans and animals.

When customers register eligible Electrolux products, Electrolux will help plant a tree with TNC's Plant a Billion Trees program across North America.*

Upper Great Lakes

Our work over the last 15 years has focused on protecting large tracts of forests that are threatened in this area.

Upper Great Lakes

We aim to improve forest resilience and watershed health across the entire region.

Upper Great Lakes

We are also developing and implementing adaptive strategies to increase forest diversity.

Upper Great Lakes

These forests are world renowned for their biodiversity, recreational, scenic and economic values, and the clean fresh water they supply to the Great Lakes watersheds.

Upper Great Lakes

Our large-scale restoration projects involve planting and protecting thousands of acres of forest in the region.

Upper Great Lakes

Our restoration work traditionally focused on restoring the long-lived conifers, all of which have been greatly reduced in the Northwoods during the last century.

Mississippi Bottomland Hardwood

Bottomland hardwood forests once covered over 21 million acres along the waterways and tributaries of the Mississippi River, but only two percent remain.

Not only will local wildlife benefit from the creation of additional habitat, but migratory waterfowl will also be able to take advantage of additional areas for feeding & resting.

Reforestation in the Delta will provide the quality habitat bears require to live and flourish.

We are helping to improve water quality by implementing established conservation practices within these priority watersheds.

Shortleaf Pine

Shortleaf pine forests once covered a vast area but now more than 50% have been lost. We are working to restore these iconic forests.

These forests are key for wildlife habitats, recreation and water quality in the area.

Central Appalachian Forests

Central Appalachian forests filter and store clean drinking water for millions of people for the Ohio River Valley and Washington D.C. areas.

Central Appalachian Forests

The high elevation of these forests supports one of the largest concentrations of rare wildlife in the region. The forest is also an important home for several migratory songbirds.

Longleaf Pine

Longleaf pine was once a dominant forest across nine states from Virginia to Texas. Now that very little of the forest remains, we are working to bring it back to life.

Longleaf Pine

The rare red-cockaded woodpecker lives only in mature pine forests in the SE U.S. It is an important part of this ecosystem. By resotring the forest, we can help its survival.

Longleaf Pine

Thanks to restoration efforts across the region, longleaf pine forests are starting to come back, and The Nature Conservancy is dedicated to restoring this important forest.

American forests filter 50% of the nation's water. We're planting trees in North America to provide water, among other benefits, to our planet.

Feature

Funding Trees for Health

An analysis by The Nature Conservancy on finance and policy actions to enable tree planting for public health.

Feature

The Business of Planting Trees

New research by TNC, WRI and other partners shows that restoration and other land management improvements could provide more than a third of the emissions reductions necessary to keep global warming under 2°C.
