Emerald Healthy Environments, LLC partners with Trees for the Future, 501.c.3 Non
Profit Organization - helping people in developing countries improve their rural
livelihoods through the introduction of environmentally sustainable land management
projects focused on beneficial tree planting.
Most communities around the world recognize that they need to plant trees on their
degraded lands if they are to improve their lives. We provide technical knowledge
on agro forestry and sustainable development, along with planting materials so that
communities can return their degraded lands and struggling farms back to sustainable
production.
Beneficial trees minimize soil erosion, supply forage for animals, and provide a
source of fuel wood, but planting trees is difficult when the canopy has disappeared,
topsoil has been eroded, and the climate and growing conditions have changed. Through
our network of technicians, volunteers, and community leaders world-wide, our program
reaches remote areas and gives local people the knowledge and ability to rehabilitate
their environment.
Since 1988, Trees for the Future has helped thousands of communities in Central
America, Africa, and Asia improve their livelihoods and their environment by planting
nearly 65 million trees.
We calculate that these trees remove over one and a half million tons of CO2 from
the atmosphere each year.
