Help farmers restore degraded land

Donate to Trees for the Future, which partners with farmers in sub-Saharan Africa to plant trees and build regenerative Forest Gardens that restore degraded land and increase incomes. Forest Gardens typically take around four years to mature from first planting to a farmer's first meaningful harvest.

Our take

This ties trees to income directly: farmers themselves benefit financially from the Forest Gardens they build, which may appeal if you want a gift that also addresses poverty, not climate alone. The roughly four-year path from planting to a meaningful harvest also means this is a longer-term investment in a farmer's land, not an instant fix.
