Summit Reforestation and Forest Management Ltd.

Our Values
Planting Trees brings incredible value to our lives. As tree-planters we will continue to feel this throughout everything we do into the future. The experience of tree planting continues to grow and change us long after the last tree is planted.
We are part of a greater community that allows us to live a life that gives back to the world much more than we take.
“Tree-planting affects the very essence of who we are and who we become. It alters our lives. This Initiation is so profound that those who have gone through it are held in community through fiercely intense experiences. This site is a celebration of Tree-planting, Planters, and Summit Reforestation. It is a place where one can discover what Summit and Tree-planting are all about.”
