RaaS is an acronym which stands for Reforestation as a Service, inspired from Software as a Service

Our software platform is designed for organizations of any type who wish to add reforestation as part of their business practices

Signing up here will give you access to the following: - Access to a test (sandbox) and production environment - A dashboard - Reports - API and integration information for automated tree planting

You will be better served by sponsoring trees directly with our reforestation partners or use our the mobile app (iOS and Android) from our friends at tryneutral.com. It allows you to calculate your carbon footprint and plant trees accordingly on a monthly basis!

As of today, the solution is 100% free. You only pay for the trees ($1 USD for each tree) directly to the reforestation organization.

Depending on the complexity of the project and the skill level of your team, it can be done in minutes but do factor in some time for testing too. Integrations and SDKs are also available to speed up your implementation.

Yes! By signing up here, you will have access to a dashboard from which you are able view the activity in your account.

Yes. By signing up here, you will have access to a dashboard from which you are able to directly request trees.

The reforestation organizations we work with plant trees, and those trees provide important benefits in terms of carbon sequestration (carbon capture). However, these projects are not verified for certified carbon credits. Carbon certification projects require more resources and it would cost more than 1$ to work with certified projects.

As of today, we rely on various donations to pay the expenses. There are no salaries to pay since the whole team is made up of volunteers, all concerned about climate change and looking to make a difference.

Yes! We work with 7 reforestation organizations, allowing you to choose from lots of reforestation projects. More details on the Reforestation Partners page.

We’re glad you asked. Our certificate generator feature gives you the ability to generate PDF certificates for tree planting requests. Please contact us to request access as this is currently in beta.

We only work with renowned and trusted reforestation organizations. And by paying them directly, you can be sure that the money sent is used to plant the requested trees.

No, although to avoid unnecessary processing fees for the reforestation organizations, they prefer waiting to have a certain amount of trees requested (usually 50) before invoicing you. Please contact us if this is a concern to you, we will be able to tell you the exact minimum for each of our reforestation partners.

You simply receive an invoice directly from the reforestation organization (monthly or quarterly, depending on the number of trees). Once you pay the reforestation organization, they begin the process of planting these trees. By paying directly to the reforestation organization, you can be sure that the money is all spent on planting trees.

Our reforestation partners are listed here , and the complete list of projects available is available in our API documentation here.

Yes. The API documentation describes our API and contains instructions on how to use it. It also contains a number of integrations and SDKs available that you can use to easily integrate with the API.

By signing up here, you will have access to a dashboard from which you be able to retrieve your API keys (Sandbox and Production)

Yes! By signing up here, you will have access to 2 environments: Sandbox and Production. You can use the Sandbox environment to make your integration tests.

Yes we can! Our automation will let you plant trees with tons of applications and no coding experience is required. Should you wish to learn more on integrating with Zapier please visit our integration on Zapier's site here,

Our partner at GetMesa created one, available here and one is in the works too!

It’s up to you. Most enterprises use our API to plant in only one reforestation project. Some let their users decide where to have their trees planted, while some request the trees randomly between a few different reforestation projects. What we recommend though is that your enterprise requests the trees from only one reforestation organization. It will prevent you from receiving multiple invoices from different reforestation organizations at the end of each month. The complete list of projects is available here in the API documentation
