"In silence, a clear message came: Begin now."
Ourlifeforce.org Trees is an impact project born from the Ourlifeforce.org Art series by Ekaterina Sky: the seed of a calling, a movement to restore our planet one rooted intention at a time.
If each of us plants around 165 native trees, together we can help heal the Earth's degraded lands, revive lost rainfall cycles, and draw down billions of tons of carbon.
This is where we begin.
165 Trees per Person.
Start Today.
Choose where to plant your share based on your budget, and watch our global ticker grow as the planet begins to breathe again.
Why 165 Trees?
Global research led by the Crowther Lab at ETH Zurich shows that our planet has space for approximately 0.9 billion hectares of additional forest cover, enough to nurture around one trillion native trees worldwide.
If every person on Earth helped restore about 165 trees, we could begin to heal the planet at a meaningful scale, rebalancing ecosystems, reviving the forests' invisible sky rivers that bring rainfall, and capturing an estimated 200 billion tons of carbon over the coming decades.
Planting these trees is how we return life to degraded lands, together, one rooted intention at a time.
The Movement Is Just Beginning
About the Artist
Ekaterina Sky
Ekaterina Sky is an artist who paints to protect our planet. Her Ourlifeforce.org art began in the rainforests of Borneo, where she saw how every tree, animal, and drop of rain is part of one big family. Her dream is to help people everywhere remember that we belong to nature and that together, we can help it heal.
Through her project, Ourlifeforce.org Trees, Ekaterina invites everyone to take action: to plant trees, protect rainforests, and restore the Earth's balance. Each tree planted is a living prayer for the planet, a small act of love that helps bring life, hope, and clean air back to the world we share.

A Prayer for the Earth reforestation initiative
165 Trees for Renewal
Each tree is a living prayer for the Earth. Together we plant 165 at a time - you choose where they take root and how they restore life.
Choose your 165
Tier 1 — Start a Forest
Note: This tier focuses on planting seedlings and does not include a survival to maturity guarantee. You can later choose to donate an additional amount to help ensure that these trees are cared for as they grow, supporting long term survival and aligning with our shared mission of true restoration.
Tier 2 — Rebuild Nature
(California)Tier 3 — Protect the Rainforest
(Borneo)Why 165
One hundred sixty-five is our shared unit of care. It turns a single act into a measurable forest. It is a number we can repeat together until the canopy returns.
Transparency and Care
- —Tier 1 focuses on broad access and early-stage planting
- —Tiers 2 and 3 prioritize restoration outcomes and community co benefits
- —Survival and monitoring vary by site and season

Our Growing Network
This interactive map shows the reach of our global restoration movement. Green pins mark verified planting sites where native trees are taking root through our trusted partners. Red pins highlight degraded forest areas that urgently need restoration.
As our movement grows, this map will expand with new planting sites and restoration projects. Every tree planted brings us closer to our goal of 1.35 trillion trees, 165 per person.
Mark your own planting location by dragging the blue pin onto the map. Together, we're creating a living record of Earth's restoration.

After you volunteer to plant trees, come back here and add my tree so they become part of your Ourlifeforce.org.
Join Your Local Community
These orange pins mark active reforestation projects across the country where you can volunteer to plant trees, restore habitats, and connect with like-minded earth stewards.
From urban forests to wilderness restoration, each project offers hands-on opportunities to contribute to your local ecosystem while learning from experienced organizations.
