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. 

Yes, sure! Send over a cover letter and CV to team@mossy.earth. We will keep it on file until an appropriate position becomes available.

Each and every tree we plant is photographed and the GPS coordinates taken. They are then given a tree ID and assigned to a member or customer. The tree photos are stored alongside detailed polygon data in our tree database, which members and customers can access at any time using their user data. To ensure additionality, we always finish assigning each batch of trees before moving on to the next batch.

What's more, our goal is to build the necessary infrastructure so that every individual that contributes to our projects can verify their impact themselves. This includes using photos, GPS coordinates, polygons, open databases, and satellite monitoring to try and achieve this. We are not there yet but we have managed to set up quite a few of these and you can 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 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.
