INTERNATIONAL DAY OF FORESTS 2025
TOGETHER, WE’VE DONATED 2,294 TREES!
As tradition dictates, we marked the annual UN event – the International Day of Forests – with a week-long fundraiser here at Westpack. The goal was to raise funds to plant trees, and we are proud to announce that this year, we are donating funds to plant a total of 2,294 trees. A huge thank you for your support!
The fundraiser took place from 17 to 24 March 2025, and the concept was simple: we donated two trees for every order placed on our webshop during the campaign week.
The donation was completed on 28 March 2025, and we want to say a heartfelt THANK YOU for the incredible support! Many of you placed an order, and we received lots of positive feedback.
WHO PLANTS THE TREES?
We work with One Tree Planted, a non-profit organisation that has been restoring forests across the globe since 2014. In 2023 alone, they planted over 52 million trees in 74 countries – that’s more than 97,000 hectares of forest restored. The projects are carried out in close collaboration with local communities, who are involved in selecting, growing, and planting the trees.
ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL DAY OF FORESTS
In 2012, the UN General Assembly proclaimed 21 March as the International Day of Forests. On this day, countries around the world are encouraged to launch initiatives that protect and restore natural habitats.
