Plant a tree with every picture

In Canada, it is estimated that tree planting rates have declined by 50% since the late 1990s. This is despite the fact that the benefits of trees, both in terms of the environment and human health, are more widely recognized than ever before.

One Tree Planted is a not-for-profit organization with a mission to make it simple for everyone to help the environment by planting trees. They work with reforestation partners around the world to plant trees where they are needed the most.

We support One Tree Planted by planting a tree for every product or service bought in our store.
