World Tree creates regenerative tree farming projects in North and Latin America in partnership with farmers and other landowners. Our programs are designed to create community, provide new revenue streams for farmers, rebuild the soil, help reverse global warming, and protect forests. World Tree provides free Empress Splendor trees (Paulownia elongata & fortunei), training, and support to farmers
. The farmers grow the trees on their land from sapling to harvest maturity, and World Tree harvests and sells the lumber. These programs are funded by impact-focused investors from around the world. World Tree currently has over 250 farmers in its programs, based in the United States, Costa Rica, Mexico, and Guatemala.
