Tentsile Plants a Million Trees #BecomeOneOfTheMillion

In 2017, we set ourselves the challenge to plant 1 million trees in five years! Today, we’re delighted to say that we’ve planted an incredible 1,000,000 trees, which means we’re right on track to reach our #BecomeOneOfTheMillion campaign goal. We couldn’t have achieved this without the hard work of our tree planting partners: WeForest, Eden Projects and The Arbor Day Foundation, but perhaps, most importantly, we wouldn’t have risen to this challenge without the support from you, the Tentsile Tribe! So, from the bottom of our hearts thank you!

Tentsile Tree Tents' Activism in the Tasmanian Rainforest

Earlier this year, the Big Canopy Campout saw hundreds of people and organisations take to the trees this September, sleeping out in forests around the globe to raise funds for vital conservation work. One such group is the Bob Brown Foundation, who got in touch with Tentsile to ask for some Tree Tents to help fight deforestation on the front line. Of course, we were more than happy to join their plight – saving trees is what we do best. Hear from Erik Hayward - CEO of the Bob Brown Foundation - as he explains what’s happening in the Tarkine Forests of Tasmania.
