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 four methods of planting on the platform:

  • Manual – planting directly on the platform (best when planting for yourself/business or a small number of people)
  • Bulk upload – uploading a spreadsheet/CSV file to the platform (best when planting for a larger number of people)
  • Automation – automatically planting trees (best when planting upon certain triggers)
  • Subscription – automatically planting trees every month
