Three Trees for Every One Removed

For every tree that comes out, three go back in.

Impact Statement

Every tree removed is more than offset — three new trees mean net habitat gain, not just replacement. The ratio is simple enough to require, track, and verify on any project.

The Five W's of Three Trees for Every One Removed

Three trees for every one removed

Who

This is Saving Planets' own forest solution — a simple, verifiable rule for any planting project: three trees planted for every one removed.

What

For every tree that comes out, three go in. That replaces what was lost and starts to rebuild habitat, soil, and shade.

When

Ongoing — any planting project can adopt this ratio today.

Where

Anywhere trees are removed: construction sites, logging operations, land clearing, and development projects.

Why

Removing a tree without replacement accelerates habitat loss, soil erosion, and carbon release. A three-to-one ratio turns removal into net restoration.
