The concept of EcoTree is tied up in the natural growth of a tree as a physical asset. As the value of your tree grows, it creates a safe home for forest animals and captures carbon along the way.
Your trees are natural assets and their wood volume grows 2% each year on average over the trees’ lifetime.

Here are answers to questions we get asked about our unique sustainable forestry model, including how it tackles climate change and makes a difference to our planet.
There are endless reasons to plant trees, and we don’t even need to mention how good they look, how great they smell, or how a walk in the forest works wonders for your mind. The real magic is in what they do every single day: absorbing CO2, supporting local biodiversity, and making the world greener. And the best part? They’ll keep doing it for decades, even centuries. So when you plant a tree with EcoTree, you're not just thinking about today, you’re investing in a more sustainable future for everyone. Plus, when your tree reaches maturity and is harvested for sustainable timber, 100% of the profit goes back to you. If you're not around when the tree is cut, don't worry; the ROI will be transferred to a trusted third party you've chosen. Pretty brilliant, right?
You know it from your own life - when you own or invest in something, you have a greater incentive to take care of it. The same applies to nature. Owning a tree isn’t just important because it teaches you about the value of protecting the world’s forests. It’s also a guarantee that your climate contribution makes a real difference. On your EcoTree account, you can track your tree and see its growing economic value. The tree is yours until it’s harvested, or until you choose to gift it to someone else.
EcoTree uses a sustainable forestry method known as "close-to-nature forestry." The goal is to create the best conditions for biodiversity and wildlife while ensuring the trees thrive. We use no chemicals in our forests and continuously run projects to support biodiversity, such as restoring wetlands or establishing beehives. Our forestry is certified and regularly inspected by third-party forest experts (Expert Forestiers de France). Thanks to our sustainable approach, our trees are of exceptionally high quality, ensuring that the timber can be used for furniture, construction materials, and more.
The estimated value of your trees increase to reflect the average growth of a tree, which is 2% every year. This calculation has been approved by the French Financial Supervisory Authority (AMF). When your tree is felled, we turn it into wood and sell it for building materials, furniture and other uses. All proceeds from the felling and sales go to you, the tree owner.
Because we’re a fully integrated sustainable forestry company, who own and manage our forests directly, we can ensure a high level of control and quality in all our activities. It also means we can give you lots of lovely data, drone footage, news and exciting reports of your trees online.
It may seem counterintuitive to harvest trees when the goal is to strengthen the world’s forests. However, we can assure you that we only fell trees when it makes biological sense. Our forest manager selects only those trees that are ready to be harvested, and this happens individually, not in mass clearings. Trees are cut once they have reached their maximum maturity, making room for new, young trees. Young and growing trees absorb more CO2 than older trees, so it makes sense to harvest a tree when its CO2 curve peaks. In some cases, trees are felled for the sake of biodiversity and the well-being of the forest and wildlife. Our close-to-nature forestry ensures the forest thrives, and we only intervene in nature’s balance when necessary. We’ve also made it a rule to plant three trees for every one that we cut, and we stick to that rule. Want to learn more about our sustainable forestry practices?
