More Trees Now
Every tree creates hundreds of saplings a year. The majority of these saplings will not reach maturity. They either disappear naturally due to competition, but quite often they are removed in routine forest management. They grow in a peat bog, walkingpath, or they are thinned to create spaces for more different types of tree specifies and plants. These surplus saplings are a source of diverse, ecological, free and indigenous trees. By transplanting these saplings one can restore ecosystems and create new green areas nearby. More Trees Now is an initiative based on Meer Bomen Nu, a Dutch initiative which has inspired a mass volunteering movement that has transplanted over 1.4 million saplings in three winters in the most densely populated country in Europe. They have created an online tool which allows for a decentralized organisation where anyone can organize events and register and track saplings from their old to their new destination. The aim is to make tree planting accessible and free for all who are concerned about biodiversity loss and deforestation.
