Treecreate was founded by Dr Tracey M Benson in 2019 as a means to build connections between creativity, wellbeing, grass roots action and education around environmental restoration and reforestation.
At Treecreate, we believe that by working together we can achieve our goals, which is why we support the UN Decade of Restoration and the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals
