Get a forest subscription with automatic payment every month. You won't have to think about which tree to choose or where it's planted. Just sit back and wait for your tree to grow, both in size and value.
We manage our forests as irregular high forests, so the cutting horizons of our trees varies a lot. They range from a minimum of 20 years to over 150 years. You can check the cutting horizon of each tree before you buy it, by clicking on "See in detail" on the pictures of the trees in our TreeShop. After you have bought the tree, you can see the cutting horizon in the "Tree list" on your EcoTree account.
You receive all the profits only once your trees have been sold and harvested by a partner sawmill, not annually. For each tree, this date (known as the "harvesting" or "cutting horizon") is specified at the time of purchase and confirmed on your customer account. You will be notified when the trees are harvested and given two options: receive the profits by bank transfer (we will need your IBAN) or reinvest the profit in new trees.
The purchase price of your tree includes:
- Land acquisition, property tax and insurance (30%)
- Purchase of plants and planting (10%)
- The upkeep and long-term sustainable management of the forest (30%)
- EcoTree's operating costs (30%)
In our model, you finance not only the planting of trees but also their sustainable management throughout the forest cycle. Sustainable management is what enables the forest to fulfil its ecological role, hence why the price per tree is sometimes higher than what the competition can offer.
EcoTree acknowledges that the belief that it's possible to completely erase our carbon footprint through some form of financial compensation, giving us peace of mind, has been idealised. We encourage you to first try to reduce your own emissions before committing a contribution to global carbon neutrality. There will still be emissions that you cannot reduce or avoid, for which buying a tree is a good way of helping reabsorb the CO2 emitted. However, the CO2 absorbed by your trees cannot be used for offset claims. Only a certificate issued for the purchase of carbon credits can be used to contribute to the "zero net emissions" objective. For more information, please consult our carbon manifesto.
