The 101 cycle
One session becomes a skill, a tree and a stronger community.
Start as a complete beginner. Leave with a skill, a certificate and a tree in the ground — and maybe come back as a mentor.

Find a session, register in a minute and join live — or watch the recording.

03
Plant
Plant a useful tree in your neighbourhood within 30 days.
04
Certify
Upload a geo-tagged selfie with your tree. Your certificate is issued.
05
Connect
Share it, join the community, learn more — and maybe mentor.
Global Impact Map
Behind every certificate, a real tree.
Every Green Step adds a pin to a public map. Trees are chosen for shade, fruit, soil and wildlife — and we check back at 6 and 12 months to see them grow.
- Live GPS capture and photo checks stop fake or recycled trees
- Public locations are shown to about 1 km — never a private home
- Trees are counted as trees. No inflated carbon claims.
