Trees4All

Trees4All is a project planting trees to enhance climate resilience and restore the forest ecosystem in Nan Province, which is of vital importance to Chao Phraya, Thailand’s largest watershed. With financial support from our crowdfunding campaign, smallholder farmers in Santisuk District are planting native plant species in their farmlands. This helps turn single-crop farms, called monoculture, into diversified plantations. Our project also builds sustainable livelihoods as farmers can harvest or benefit from the trees.
Support the local farmers by donating 100 baht to sponsor a tree or more. You can monitor the growth of your trees for three years through our website. The farmers plant trees every rainy season to enhance tree survival rates and report tree data in February the following year.

An average of 9.5 kilograms of carbon dioxide per year is estimated to be sequestered and an average of 6.91 kilograms of oxygen per year is estimated to be released by one slow-growing native tree, which is the type of trees planted in our project. To deliver these levels of carbon sequestration and oxygen release, a tree must have a diameter of at least 15 cm when measured at 130 cm above ground level (Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization, 2011). The actual tree survival rate is reported and the project will plant new trees in the rainy season the following year to compensate for those that do not survive. Therefore, the estimated carbon sequestration and oxygen release per year are calculated based on the total number of trees planted in the project.

ABOUT

Donation

Become a tree sponsor by donating 100 baht per tree or more. You can donate through the Taejai crowdfunding website.

Planting

With your donation, smallholder farmers in Santisuk District, Nan Province, will plant and care for your trees. They will plant diverse tree species suitable for each farmer’s agricultural plots.

Monitoring

This website features an online database that registers each tree’s data. The farmers track and report the growth of the trees. You can monitor the progress of the trees you sponsor.

Report

Our project report is available publicly, and you can keep track of the project progress and benefits.

Our project site is in Santisuk District, Nan Province. Nan is mostly mountainous and an important source of water, providing about 40 percent flowing into the Chao Phraya River. Over the years, however, Nan has lost more than 1 million rai of forest due to monoculture cultivation. This is affecting the supply of water to the Chao Phraya River, the lives of local people, and people living downhill in both urban and rural areas. The Trees4All project by RECOFTC and the local smallholder farmers is a start toward resolving the problem of deforestation and can be replicated in other provinces in the future.

FARMERS

Our farmers are highland smallholders in Nan Province who voluntarily agree to reduce the size of their monocropping areas and diversify by planting native trees to restore the ecosystem and let it thrive sustainably. We promote social inclusion and gender equity in our cooperation with the farmers, develop their capacity in tree planting and growth monitoring, and support the development of community enterprises that create sustainable local jobs.
