Let’s bring forests back to life.
Together.
Forests underpin everything we care about. We help the world grow more of them.
A forest is more than trees. It is a living web of plants, animals, water, soil, and people. To restore these ecosystems, we need the right species, in the right places, grown with care.
We support the people closest to the land, the ones who know it best. We give them seeds, tools, training, and money, and we stand with them for the long haul. That's how native forests, the kind that belong there and last, come back for good.
Climate. Wildlife. Communities. Forests help all three.

Four ways forests come back
No single organization can accomplish this mission alone. To support the whole movement, we work across four interconnected pillars.
Voice
Innovation
Capacity Building
Reforest
One Mission. Two Models.
We bring the best of nonprofit and for-profit models together to restore forests faster. Our carbon projects prove what high-integrity restoration requires. Our 501(c)(3) turns what we learn into free tools, training, and a stronger voice for the whole movement.

Rooted in Hawai’i
Terraformation started in Hawaiʻi. The islands hold 10 of the world's 14 climate zones, from rainforests to dry scrublands. So what we learn here works almost anywhere. Hawaiʻi is where we test new ways to bring native forests back, then share them with every place we work.
