At ProBoard Timber, our dedication to sustainable forestry and environmental stewardship extends beyond our products. Today, we are excited to announce that we are making an ongoing commitment to support Just One Tree, a remarkable organisation working tirelessly to restore forests, reduce carbon emissions, and preserve biodiversity around the world. Our ongoing donations will help contribute to reforestation projects that positively impact communities and the planet.
Just One Tree
JUST ONE Tree is a non-profit initiative removing CO2 from the atmosphere and reversing biodiversity loss through global reforestation. They plant trees in areas severely affected by deforestation to maximise the effect on reducing global warming. In the process, they help to provide agricultural education and sustainable incomes to local communities.
But they don’t stop there. JUST ONE Tree concentrates on restoring the entire ecosystem by planting on land and in the oceans, and they also focus on helping to shape the next generation of planet-conscious thinkers by bringing environmental education into the classrooms with their free teaching resources and JUST ONE Tree Day.
Why We’re Supporting Just One Tree
The effects of deforestation and climate change have become increasingly urgent, and we believe that it’s our responsibility as a timber company to actively contribute to environmental conservation. Just One Tree has a proven track record in implementing reforestation projects that sequester carbon, support local communities, and encourage biodiversity. By joining their efforts, ProBoard Timber is contributing to tangible solutions that address the challenges facing our planet today.
Our Ongoing Commitment to Reforestation
1. Monthly Donations: ProBoard Timber will be making regular donations to Just One Tree on an ongoing basis. Every donation supports the planting of trees in areas affected by deforestation, helping to restore degraded land and create healthy ecosystems. We have committed to planting 50 trees a month!
2. Supporting Global Reforestation Efforts: Just One Tree operates globally, with reforestation projects in regions critically impacted by deforestation. Our donations will go directly to these projects, supporting their goal of planting millions of trees and reviving natural habitats in the process.
3. Empowering Local Communities: An essential part of Just One Tree’s mission is to create economic opportunities for local communities in reforestation areas. By supporting them, we’re not only helping the environment but also contributing to sustainable livelihoods for people who depend on forested lands.
How Our Customers Make a Difference
Every purchase from ProBoard Timber now contributes to our reforestation efforts with Just One Tree. We are proud to offer products that not only meet high standards of quality but also support meaningful environmental initiatives. Although many of our products are already PEFC and FSC certified, we wanted to go one step further to help the planet and combat climate change. With each purchase, our customers are joining us in making a lasting impact on the planet.
Why Reforestation Matters
Reforestation is a crucial step in addressing climate change. Trees absorb and store carbon dioxide, making them one of the most effective natural tools we have for reducing greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. Additionally, reforestation helps:
Preserve Biodiversity: Forests are home to an estimated 80% of Earth’s terrestrial species. By restoring forests, we support vital ecosystems that countless plants and animals rely on for survival.
Protect Water Sources: Forests play an essential role in maintaining freshwater supplies and preventing soil erosion. Reforestation helps protect and rejuvenate these water sources, benefiting both people and wildlife.
Improve Air Quality: Trees produce oxygen and filter pollutants, directly improving the air quality in local communities.
