Let's plant our second forest together

Help us continue the MyOwnTree story

Our story begins in 2021 with the first planted forest


With the help of the MyOwnTree Community, consisting of nature enthusiasts from over 10 countries, in 2021, we succeeded in planting the first forest in Romania on land exclusively purchased through donations. This ensured that this forest will be 100% protected against illegal logging.


3000 Linden trees planted and cared for


Through sustained efforts and dedication, we planted 3000 Linden trees over a 2-hectare area and have cared for them over the past 2 years. They have grown beautifully, and now it's our mission to help them form the forest we dreamed of together.
The steps we've already taken:
1
Choosing the suitable land
We analyzed the soil quality, precipitation levels in the area, as well as accessibility for maintenance and security teams.
Preparing the land for planting
We fenced the land, marked the GPS coordinates for planting, plowed, and tilled the soil to remove all weeds.

Planting the trees
We dug the holes, planted the seedlings previously soaked in mud, added fertile soil and fertilizer, created basins to retain water around the stem, and watered generously.
Taking care of the trees
We consistently mowed the land, applied treatments, dug around the base of the stems, and rebuilt the basins. We built a water reservoir and an irrigation system to ensure water during dry periods

How can you support us?



We need YOUR help to continue this beautiful project

We're almost there to reach this new ambitious goal.


We have raised 30.000 €
we still need 10,000 Euro

I want to get involved now through a donation

Each donation of over 35 Euro includes the adoption of a tree in our future forest

What do I get in return for my donation?
For any donation over 200 lei, you'll receive your own tree in the MyOwnTree Forest.

The land on which it's planted belongs to the Association, ensuring it will never be alienated.

We guarantee full transparency; each tree is placed at clear GPS coordinates and tagged with NFC data of the donor.

We take care of all the trees until they grow into a forest.
Why did we decide to plant only on MyOwnTree Association's lands?
MyOwnTree has always pledged to plant solely on lands owned by the Association.

The primary reason is to ensure that these forests are 100% protected, and that no one can ever touch your trees.
What is the vision for the future?

In the future, we envision MyOwnTree Forest as a place of relaxation for all community members. A place where you can come with your family for a picnic, quietly read a book, or where we can organize various green events.


Last but not least, we've thought it would be wonderful for you to enjoy the fruits of your trees, so we could offer you tea or even honey produced in the MyOwnTree Forest.
How did we come up with the idea to plant our own forest?

We believe that planting a tree is a small but noble gesture you can do for yourself, for the generations to come and for the planet itself. Along with our global greening struggle, we endeavour to build a community where everyone is enthusiastic about planting roots for a better future. As our community grows, trees grow too.

Forests provide shelter to all manner of wildlife, reduce air pollution, prevent soil erosion, purify and cool the air, recycle and conserve the water, and consume the Carbon Dioxide released into the atmosphere by people. And, most importantly, trees have the power to combat climate change, the biggest threat to our planet.

Trees are simply amazing. Although they are grounded, they still try to reach the sun.

Let’s not take all that nature offers us for granted. Let’s plant trees, protect forests and fight climate change. Our ultimate goal? To coexist in harmony with nature!
