Our tree planting is carried out by professional tree planters. It is simply more efficient to do it this way and it also gives a small boost to the local economy around each project. Something we want to avoid is for individuals to fly or travel long distances to be at one of our projects as it is rather counterproductive. However, we intend to have some open days at our projects in the UK and the US to provide such opportunities. When these opportunities arise, we'll let our members know through the membership.

Don't forget you can help Mossy Earth by becoming a member or simply by talking about us.

Transparency is paramount to us and we go to great lengths to ensure that you are able to evaluate our work.

For each and every one of our planting areas, we map the area and record the number of trees planted and the species mix. We also provide drone flyover footage, aerial 360 images, images of each species planted and a biologist walkthrough video of the planting areas soon after planting. This is available for members and customers to view through their accounts. To ensure additionality, we always finish assigning each batch of trees before moving on to the next batch. We have made some important changes to maximise our impact and improve our transparency in recent months, including a membership report and vote. Learn more about them in our transparency methodology page.

We are a social enterprise incorporated as a private limited company in the United Kingdom with a for profit structure. We are not a charity and the membership is not a donation, it is the payment for a service that we provide.

Think of it in this way: you pay a gardener to take care of a garden and you pay Mossy Earth to build a wild forest. Our job is to make sure our outcomes are as measurable as the gardener's work. A charity that shares their accounts simply shows you that they have spent money on. In this example if the charity was a gardener they would show you that they spent money on fuel for the lawnmower, fertilizer and soil but would not show you the actual outcomes. At Mossy Earth we aim to make the outcomes crystal clear and to make accounts reporting redundant. You can read more about this in our business ethos page.

Yes, we have the Climate Action Membership for businesses. For more information, check our business page.
