Meet the custodians turning bare land into future forests
From smallholder farmers to school groups, custodians are the quiet backbone of every tree we plant.
When you sponsor a tree through PlantTogether, you are really sponsoring a relationship — one between a young sapling and the person who has agreed to look after it.
Who becomes a custodian?
Our custodians include farmers restoring degraded plots, teachers turning schoolyards green, and youth cooperatives reclaiming community land. Each is vetted, trained, and paired with a TreeCare Pack.
Why it works
- Local knowledge of soil, seasons, and species
- A direct stake in the tree's survival
- Simple monthly reporting through the app
The result is a distributed climate workforce — thousands of small acts of care, adding up to something a satellite can see.
