Tree planting
Overview
With the More Trees platform, you can plant trees for:
- Yourself, as an individual
- A business or business department
- Others (such as customers, clients, employees and family)
There are three methods of planting on the platform:
- Plant now – planting directly on the platform (best used when planting for yourself/business or a small number of people)
- Automated – automatically planting trees using our API (best used when planting upon certain triggers)
- Subscription – automatically planting trees monthly or annually
