About Us

Our Mission

Developing the concept of Foresteer started in 2018 with a clear mission: Planting millions of trees with local and international communities. To help nature recover by creating forests and improving the soil in some of the driest and most challenging areas in the world.

We’ve chosen to work with the driest areas because that’s where we can achieve the biggest impact. By planting trees, local communities get a great number of benefits. With the newly created “Green Spots”, they will, for example, be able to create a variety of nutritional foods, will get clean drinking water, and get new job opportunities. But above all, planting trees in areas that need them the most is beneficial for everyone.
