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.

If you want to bring your professional experience to Mossy Earth, we are consistently on the lookout for skilled Pro Bono workers. Please send over a cover letter and CV to team@mossy.earth if you're interested. We'd love to hear from you, especially if you're a coder, product designer, or work in business development/B2B Sales.
Don't forget you can help Mossy Earth by becoming a member or simply by talking about us.

It's great to hear you want to help! Most of our projects don't lend themselves to volunteering on site, although there are numerous other ways you can get involved and contribute your skills...

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.

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

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, drop us an email to team@mossy.earth to upgrade to a couple’s or family membership.

Can I get a couple’s or family membership?

We try to have enough projects so that we are able to plant year round. As such, it would be really hard to accomodate for this at this stage as it would make it harder for us to plan. We also want to support a variety of ecosystems and some of them we can only support if we blend them with less costly projects to achieve a lower overall cost per unit. As such, having a good project blend is important to enable us to restore our target ecosystems and provide you, our members, with a mix of projects.

In  the future we might change this when Mossy Earth grows to a certain size and our forecasting ability improves.

Can I have my trees planted in just one project? 

Yes, we offer team memberships for businesses. For more information, check our business page. 

No question is a silly question.  You can send any additional queries to team@mossy.earth or book a call with one of the team.
