Our mission
At Go Forest, our mission is to plant trees with long-term impact and inspire sustainable action.
Through our efforts, we aim to accelerate nature restoration, ensuring that the right trees grow in the right places, and are maintained in a transparent way. We restore ecosystems worldwide with a holistic approach, including focus on biodiversity, climate resilience and the empowerment of local communities through our approach.
Furthermore, we aim to inspire businesses and individuals to invest in nature restoration and support them towards more sustainable action in an accessible way.

Transparency
In everything we do, we aim to provide more transparency. Through technology and innovation, such as our blockchain timestamps and impact dashboards, you can follow your tree’s journey and the growth of your impact for the long-term.
Partnership
We cannot achieve our mission alone and believe cooperation is the key for a more sustainable future. With our partners we share a vision for a greener future and we’re in it with a long-term focus.
Inspiration
Through providing a vision for a greener future, positive messaging and innovative approaches, we aim to inspire for positive change to restore our environment and combat climate change.
Long-term focus
We focus on creating long-term impact and work with a holistic approach to nature restoration and collaboration.
Accessibility & inclusion
Creating a green impact should be accessible for everyone. Tree planting could be the first step in your climate journey, or one of the many steps you are taking, for any budget. Through our projects and in our team, we aim to create a more equal, equitable and inclusive future.
