Reforest Now - Our Partner in Planting Trees
Reforest Now
is a non-profit environmental NGO established in 2018 and based in Northern NSW, Australia, whose mission is to return rainforest back to the land where it once stood and to protect existing rainforests of Australia and the rich
ecosystems within by growing and planting trees.
The Earth is a living system and this team makes it possible for people
from all stages of life to contribute to the protection, renewal, and survival of our forests in Australia. Planting trees is also a direct climate action.
What They Do
Reforest Now grows and plants trees in Australia. They work to protect, conserve, and regenerate forests by growing over 150 species of native trees and planting in and around rainforest and subtropical forests. They prioritise vulnerable and endangered species, genetic diversity of the trees, biodiversity, and ecological awareness of the planting sites for long-term survival of the trees that they plant.
Why plant trees?
Trees contribute to our environment by providing us with oxygen, improving air quality, climate amelioration, conserving water, preserving soil, and supporting wildlife. As the climate continues to change, our forests are vulnerable which makes us vulnerable as we rely on them for clean air and to house biodiversity we cherish. And who doesn’t want to see rainforests thrive?
The Australian rainforests are also biodiversity hotspots and two of the oldest rainforests in the world. They represent longevity of the earth's rainforests. Protecting them means respecting and protecting history and beauty for generations to come.
Where are the trees planted?
Trees are planted in NSW, The Big Scrub Rainforest, which was once Australia's largest expanse of subtropical forest. Cleared for
farming, it is now only 1% of its former size. This region depends on the rainforest for climate, for the diversity, and local water flow. Reforest Now works in NSW to restore this cleared land back to the rainforest it once was.
How can you help?
Now that you have greater awareness of the importance of rehabilitating our forests, you might want to know how you can get involved in this endeavor. One way you can help is through donations. Every $5 is a tree planted on your behalf. You can also start a fundraising campaign to raise more money for planting trees!
