Tree-planting gifts

FAQs

• What's included with the gifts?

  • All gifts support tree-planting in our reforestation sites around the world.
  • Each gift includes an Ecologi profile to keep track of gifted impact (including a personal digital forest to watch trees progress).
  • Impact profiles include tips and ideas on how to live a more sustainable lifestyle.
  • All gifts include a printable gift certificate with all details on how to redeem the gift.

• Does the gift recipient get their own Ecologi profile?

  Yes! Once you've sent the gift certificate to your recipient, they can redeem their gift. They'll receive their own personal Ecologi profile and from there, they can track their climate impact, watch their virtual forest grow (finding out more about the trees they've planted) and learn about the interesting climate projects they'll be supporting that month.

• Do you provide a gift certificate?

  Yes, for every purchase we will send you a receipt email with a PDF gift certificate(s) attached. Each certificate will represent a single gift allowing you to print/forward your gift to your lucky recipient.

  The gift certificate will contain a unique code along with instructions on how to redeem the gift.

• What are staff gifts and how do they work?

  We offer all the same gift options for company gifting, however because we generate PDF gift certificates for every gift, we are limited to attaching 50 certificates to a single email. If you're looking for staff gifts and your company has over 50 employees then please get in touch with our team at sales@ecologi.com, and we'd be more than happy to help fulfil your order.

• What happens if a gift is never redeemed?

  Our gifts remain redeemable by the recipient up to one year after purchase. After that time, we purchase the relevant impact on your behalf.

• Why can't I order more than 50 gifts at one time?

  We generate PDF gift certificates for every gift, and we are limited to attaching 50 certificates to a single email. If you're looking for over 50 gifts then please get in touch with our team at sales@ecologi.com, and we'd be more than happy to help fulfil your order.

• Where are the trees planted?

  The tree-planting activities funded as part of our gifts take place within our core reforestation sites around the world. These include mangrove planting in Madagascar, Afromontane tree-planting in Kenya and forest restoration in Nicaragua and Uganda.

  As we grow, we are planting more and more trees every month and we are continually supporting new projects around the world with our trusted tree-planting partners. You can see an up-to-date list of our reforestation projects on our projects page.

• Who plants the trees?

  We partner with trusted tree-planting organisations to ensure that the right trees are being planted in the right places. We carefully select all of our impact partners based on a number of important criteria, such as their: ecological knowledge and experience; monitoring capabilities; reputation; cooperation with local communities; labour practices; and project site protection capabilities.

  Each individual project page tells you who the reforestation partner is for that project, and gives some more information about their specific tree-planting credentials and methodologies. You can see the full list of our reforestation projects on our projects page.

  You can also read more about our responsible reforestation policies on our Reforestation FAQs page.

• What is the survival rate of the trees?

  Generally speaking, on our mass reforestation sites, our partners are able to achieve an excellent survival rate of around 80-85%.

  Each project is different, however, depending on a number of factors including the location, species, local conditions and contractual arrangements between us, our partners and other stakeholders.

  We carefully select all of our partners and projects to ensure the maximum chance of success - both for the projects as a whole, but also for the survival of all of the trees which were planted with the funding from our wonderful Ecologi community.
