Pooling capital to plant, grow, and harvest carbon‑sequestering hardwood trees with shared environmental and financial returns.

• Carbon‑Sequestering Asset: Empress trees absorb up to 103 metric tons of CO₂ per acre annually.
• Profit‑Sharing Model: Investors earn 30% of lumber sale profits after an 8–12 year growth cycle.
• Diversified Risk: Trees planted across 375+ farms in four countries to ensure stability and yield.
• Scale and Demand: Over 7,000 acres planted with strong market demand from furniture to marine manufacturers.
• Farmer Support: Rigorous 39‑point selection and training program ensures high survival and wood quality.

By investing in World Tree’s Eco‑Tree Program, you become a co‑owner of fast‑growing Empress Splendor trees that capture carbon and generate sustainable lumber revenue. For every $1,000 invested, a quarter‑acre of trees is planted on carefully selected farms across multiple countries, where dedicated farmers follow rigorous site and soil criteria under World Tree’s guidance. After 8–12 years, the trees are harvested and milled into high‑value hardwood suited for furniture, guitars, boat components, and other specialty products, with investors receiving 30% of the lumber profits.

Funding for this series will expand planting operations—cultivating 140 trees per acre in seven nurseries—enhance farmer training via a 39‑point selection and support program, and underwrite transport, audits, and sustainable agrotechnologies across 375+ farms. By pooling investments into a geographically diversified portfolio, World Tree mitigates regional risk, maximizes survival rates, and provides annual growth and carbon‑offset reports. This program enables investors to offset their carbon footprint for a decade, foster regenerative agroforestry, and pursue a potential 4–5× financial return while advancing scalable, sustainable forestry practices.

An investment program funding fast‑growing carbon‑capturing tree plantings to produce harvestable lumber profits.

World Tree’s Eco‑Tree Program enables investors to co‑own fast‑growing Empress Splendor trees that capture carbon and generate lumber revenue. For every $1,000 invested, a quarter‑acre of trees is planted and managed by trained farmers selected through a 39‑point screening process, including soil analysis and site visits. Over an 8–12‑year growth cycle, the trees sequester carbon—offsetting approximately 103 metric tons per acre annually—and are then harvested and sold to manufacturers of furniture, musical instruments, boats, and other wood products. Investors receive 30% of the profits from lumber sales, with World Tree and farmers sharing the remainder.

Since its founding, World Tree has planted over 7,000 acres across 375 farms in five countries, raising more than $18 million and establishing 18 field‑tested genotypes and seven nurseries to ensure quality. The program offers an early‑bird 20% unit discount through May 30, bonus units for larger investments, and diversified geographic planting to mitigate risks from weather, pests, and disease. With a scalable agroforestry model and growing demand in the $170 billion North American lumber market, World Tree aims to deliver measurable environmental impact and attractive returns.
