Why Treecreate?
Seeding community and culture.
Us humans often forget that our health and wellbeing is intimately connected to the world around us. Treecreate seeks to find pathways of reconnection to our green and blue spaces, urban parks through creative intervention, mindfulness and earth healing to support the reinvigoration of the land, waterways and all living beings ♥
Through our commitment to empowering communities and cooperating with key environmental, regeneration and reforestation partners, our goal is to have measurable impact on the ground through a range of activities.

“The trees act not as individuals, but somehow as a collective. Exactly how they do this, we don’t yet know. But what we see is the power of unity. What happens to one happens to us all. We can starve together or feast together.”
