How we plant
Beyond planting trees,
Trees4All aims to build a system that
can track how nature and people grow together.
We work with farmers every step of the way and report progress and impact to our sponsors, from choosing native tree species that suit their land and needs to planning farm management, tree care, and monitoring. This gives each tree a better chance to thrive and create lasting benefits for both people and ecosystems.
1
Support
Donate 130 Thai baht to plant one tree through taejai.com and receive a tax deduction. If you represent an organization or group and would like to support the initiative in other ways or arrange additional activities, please get in touch with us to explore the possibilities.
2
Plant
Each year, our farmers plant native tree species between June and August, then nurture and care for the trees over the next three years.
3
Monitor
Farmers record the location and species of each tree and assess its health using a scoring system.
4
Report
Tree sponsors receive an annual report on project progress and impact, as well as updates on the status of each individual tree.
Annual implementation cycle
We ensure every contribution leads to transparent tree planting, monitoring, and reporting.

1
Selecting planting plots and tree species
Before planting begins, Trees4All works with farmers to assess ecological conditions on each plot and farmers’ socioeconomic circumstances. Together, we select tree species suited to the conditions and needs of each farmer. Native species are planted to ensure they can thrive in local conditions while increasing species diversity.
2
Designing farms with farmers
Farmers know their land best. We work alongside them to design their farms and plan how the land will be managed, from deciding where to plant trees to managing water and preventing forest fires. Every plan is shaped around the farmers’ way of life and the unique conditions of their land.
3
Planting, caring, and monitoring
After planting, every tree is GPS-located, making its journey traceable from the start. Farmers then care for the trees and report tree data including their health over the next three years.
Every donation helps us
plant, care for, and monitor trees over time.

Our tree monitoring system
Transparent monitoring of trees and their impact
Tree sponsors can see an overview of the project’s impact on the environment and communities in our public annual report.
Available tree data
(Tree data is tracked for 3 years and updated annually.)
GPS coordinates
The location of each tree is recorded by GPS from the date it is planted.
An annual health score
Assess whether the trees are still alive and how healthy they are.
Tree species
Native tree species planted in each area are recorded.
Annual photos

Estimated carbon sequestration
The slow-growing native tree species planted through the project are estimated to sequester an average of 9.5 kilograms of carbon dioxide per tree per year. To deliver this level of carbon sequestration, a tree must have a diameter of at least 15 centimeters when measured at 130 centimeters above ground level. 1,000 kilograms is equivalent to 1 metric ton.

Estimated oxygen release
Oxygen release is estimated at an average of 6.91 kilograms per tree per year. To deliver this level of oxygen release, a tree must have a diameter of at least 15 centimeters when measured at 130 centimeters above ground level. 1,000 kilograms is equivalent to 1 metric ton.

Trees4All
connects people near and far from forests
Caring for nature is not the responsibility of any one group. Trees4All
brings together people from different places and walks of life to create positive impact together.
Farmers
People living close to forests who are committed to planting, caring for, and monitoring trees to restore the environment, build sustainable livelihoods in their communities, and adapt to climate change.
Businesses, organizations, groups and individuals
We all depend on natural resources, even when we live far from forests. We too contribute to climate change and experience its impact. By supporting farmers and tracking the results of tree planting, everyone can play a part in caring for the planet.
RECOFTC Thailand and partners
We bring together civil society organizations, academic institutions, and government agencies with diverse expertise to help farmers develop sustainable farming systems, create alternative livelihoods and income opportunities, and use technology and innovation to improve project implementation.
Plant with Trees4All
for a future where communities, nature, and all of us can thrive together
