A present for life
You also have a hard time figuring out what to give someone? A bottle of wine, or socks? That bottle of wine will be empty after an evening. The socks worn out in a few years. But what then can you give someone who already has everything? We say: give a tree. Presentree is a gift for life!
Presentree is an initiative by Lignaverda. Lignaverda is specialized in planting trees on degrading soil in West Africa. In 10 years, they have already converted a hundred million square meters of desert back into forest.
How many trees do you want to give?
Buy a Presentree
Choose how many trees you want to buy, and you're giving them to. Or are you giving it to yourself? That's fine of course! Add some data and done: your Presentree has been ordered.
Receive the certificate
You're getting a certificate from us. It includes the name of who you're receiving this Presentree from, and a QR code that allows you to follow-up the development of your forest through the years.
Follow the growth
Did you receive a Presentree? Then you can now register your forest, and then lean back and see how your forest is growing! We'll keep you up to date about the value and impact of your forest.
Trees bring life
The trees you can give through Presentree grow in northern Senegal, a politically stable country in West Africa. More specifically in the Sahel region: this is the transition zone between the Sahara and the savannah. The Sahel has been becoming desert faster and faster over the past centuries. The animals and plants are disappearing and the local population is leaving.But now we are bringing back these forests! The trees are sown and monitored by Lignaverda and maintained by the local population itself. The fertility of the soil improves significantly and after a few seasons agriculture is again possible. This creates a new economy and increases prosperity enormously. Local residents even migrate back to their native region!
65005 Presentrees are already growing in the desert
