There’s something special about visiting a new country

Imagine if every time we crossed a border, we planted just one tree. That simple act—done together—can add up to a billion new trees every year. That’s Plant a Footprint: making travel meaningful by growing forests, restoring biodiversity, and leaving places better than we found them.

Why Plant a Footprint

Tourism is massive—and so is its potential for good. By turning trips into tree-planting moments, we help travelers offset part of their journey, support local ecosystems with native species, and strengthen communities that care for these trees long after the photos are posted.

Natural

Make Every Journey Count

• Partner with travel agencies to add optional tree-planting experiences to tours. • Organize local planting days with communities and trusted NGOs using native species. • Keep it simple for travelers—show impact, share a certificate, and inspire the next trip.

Our north star is scale with integrity: plant well, plant where it matters, and care for what’s planted. Every small action adds up—together, we can grow a greener world.
