World Tree

World Tree creates regenerative tree farming projects in North and Latin America in partnership with farmers and other landowners. Their programs are designed to create community, provide new revenue streams for farmers, rebuild the soil, help reverse global warming, and protect forests.

At the heart of World Tree’s programs is the Empress Splendor tree (Paulownia elongata & fortunei). The Empress Splendor grows to maturity in just 10 years. It also regenerates from the stump after harvest to provide multiple crops from one planting. Grown in a managed farm setting, this eco-timber provides a reliable alternative to logging old-growth and other natural forests.
