Community based forestry is acknowledged as one of the key strategies in promoting sustainable forest management and in reducing poverty in rural areas particularly in developing countries.

When forestry is implemented in partnership with communities it can raise standards of living and contribute to positive development. The Trees4Trees™ program is about developing knowledge and skills to meet the needs of people as well as about growing trees through good forest management.

The companies and individuals involved in the establishment and development of the Trees4Trees™ program believe in the benefits associated with tree planting and education to provide benefits for local peoples, while improving the environment and producing high value timber resources for sustainable support of local economies.
