Imagine a world where everyone plants their own trees.
We can only achieve this together.
Everyone is invited to take part. Check out specific action guides below for Companies, Schools or Individuals.
Use the ForestNation website and this guide to get inspiration for your Pledge to Plant campaign. Feel free to contact our team for ideas.
Your campaign will be given visibility on the site via a page like this which will show the impact of your forest.
The more people who pledge to plant with you, the more trees will be planted in your forest! (new users only)

You can do this now and use it in your communications with your team and partners as an exampleAsk your team, colleagues, partners, clients, family to pledge with you. This is really easy and also a really cool conversation topic. You can show/share your pledge page on any mobile device. People can then click to make their own.Create memes/banners for your favourite pledges.

Promote #pledgetoplant at your events, and events that you attend. It’s a great way to engage people and we can provide tailored campaigns for this.
Some ideas for a great event:
- Add a photo booth/wall/space for them to add photos to their pledges and create more buzz for your campaign.
- Have some nature theme photo props to make the photos shareable.
- A sticky note tree where people can stick their pledges or wishes for Mother Earth or why they love trees
- A real board game, like a human chess board game like in Harry Potter, winners of which will win swag
- A trivia or quiz that rewards people with tree gifts
- Yoga, meditation or any other health and wellness sessions for event participants where participants can make pledges
- Pledge to plant at your team or customer volunteering events
- Create a art or graffiti wall where everyone who makes a pledge can contribute to
- Organize a tree hunt where people who make a pledge need to look for hidden tree saplings which you’ve hidden at your event (you can also use ForestNation tree kits for this)
- Have a laptop/tablet/screen to collect pledges. Pledges can be alternatively collected in sticky notes along with their emails for manual entry by your team

Schools
Ask your students why they love trees. You’ll get beautiful responses from them which you can use to encourage their parents, teachers and the community to make a pledge.
Teach them to care. Have a full day dedicated to lessons on trees, nature, the environment and our planet. You can also organize fun workshops and activities or even a day of teaching outdoors in a forest or park nearby. Here are some lesson plans and fun activity ideas with ForestNation Guardians.
Make a creative contribution like a video, song, story, poem, photo album, presentation etc. Creation examples. Your students could be challenged to make their own version of the ForestNation song as part of the campaign.
Organize a tree planting day for your community and take lots of photos 🙂
Pledge to Plant as your school fundraiser. The campaign adds loads of value to school fundraising. Students could collect pledges to plant in their local community and offer people the means to grow trees with the tree kit fundraiser. Thereby raising funds for their school and providing the means for people to fulfill their pledges.
You can raise funds to:
- create a environment club or a school garden
- buy books or materials for environment education at your school
- sponsor nature excursions etc.
