Mother Trees transforms barren, degraded lands into thriving ecosystems through the implementation of the Life Tree System. We believe that by introducing agroforestry practices, we offer a sustainable pathway out of poverty for farmers in Africa, and across the globe.
Mother Trees brings immediate solutions to the growing climate crisis and loss of biodiversity. Mother Trees helps farmers, community leaders and forest stewards to restore the planet’s many degraded landscapes with the best ideas in regenerative agroforestry and forest ecosystem restoration. Mother Trees is a member of 1% for the Planet, 1T.org, and member of the UN Decade of Ecosystem Restoration Best Practices Task Force. Planting Lead for Gift Trees. We have pledged 250 million trees in the 1T Trillion Trees campaign. We can do more. Join us in our mission to plant a billion trees by 2030.
Will restore sustainable food systems in the Senegal Peanut Basin. We are training farmer groups to assess environmental needs and then incorporate market-based agroforestry to improve resilience and diversify income. We has the capacity to plant over 25 million trees in the zone.

We all know that sustainable practise is now a major requirement for businesses in every industry (with social value following hard on its heels).
Mother Trees is an international organization harnessing the power of trees to restore degraded landscapes with best practices in regenerative agroforestry and forest ecosystem restoration. Through its flagship approach, the Lifetree program, Mother Trees deploys a comprehensive agroforestry and forestry initiative designed to address critical challenges in the agricultural and forestry sectors across Africa.
In Senegal, the conventional crop intensification model has proven inadequate, jeopardizing livelihoods, degrading soils, contributing to biodiversity loss, and aggravating the effects of climate change which has led to adverse environmental and economic impacts. The project responds to these challenges by leveraging Mother Trees’ proven success in implementing sustainable agroforestry models in the region.
The program’s objectives encompass training farmers, rehabilitating farms, forming agroforestry cooperatives, and building the capacity for forest restoration through the Lifetree System.

Mother Trees is supporting Fanm Limye Association in Haiti, which has trained a network of 1,108 beekeepers who belong to 32 community-based groups. This network of small holder farmers, 65% women, was organized in eight communes of the West Department and Nippes Departments of Haiti. The groups formed 4 women-led regional associations which operate aggregation sites where the beekeepers bring their honey and wax as well as other agricultural products to store, transform and sell direct to the customer and to wholesale buyers.
Mother Trees has trained the beekeepers in agroforestry practices that are helping improve farm productivity, diversify food and cash crops, while regenerating degraded farmland through the introduction of composting, live fencing, contour berms, intercropping, and the planting of fruit and other beneficial trees. Fanm Limye also operates a Maternal Child Health and Nutrition program serving its beekeepers. With Mother Trees help, Fanm Limye will plant 750,000 trees over the next year to improve the local environment for the bees and supply beneficiary fruit, nuts and firewood for local use and sale.
