About One Million Tree

WCN launched the One million trees- Let's Grow a Forest Campaign in 2016. WCN has been conducting massive tree plantations since 2003 but in 2016, WCN decided to organize its tree plantations collaborating with many community forests, religious and cultural groups, different public parks management committees, and local governments throughout the country under a single initiative of "One Million Trees". In Community forests, WCN focuses on the plantation of high-value trees along with Non Timber Forest Product (NTFP) promotion to support community members with an alternative source of income while they contribute to the growing and revitalizing forests.

WCN also focuses on the development of the local communities' natural resource management and entrepreneurial skills so that communities become more climate-resilient while at the same time, their socio-economic status is enhanced and the environment is conserved. From the beginning of this campaign, WCN has been restoring degraded land within community forests. Over the years, WCN has built strong partnerships with Private forest owners, Community forest User groups, Division Forest offices, Philanthropic organizations, and business house to meet the target of planting 1 million trees by 2025.

Through this platform individuals and business houses can contribute to nature conservation through tree plantations to restore degraded forest areas and greening urban areas so that communities become climate resilient and forest-based communities have thriving and economically viable forests.
