Global Tree Initiative (GTI)
invites you to take the PLANT AT HOME: Tree planting challenge. Plant your tree, Grow our forest, Save their future!
Nurture a seedling until it can be planted outside or plant a mature sapling in the ground. |

Who we are
Global Tree Initiative (GTI) is a grass roots international environmental campaign launched through a global community. Acting as a harmonious whole, we can achieve a greater result working together than could possibly be achieved acting individually. We are dedicating the fruits of our activities to the long life of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, and Lama Zopa Rimpoche, the planet and all living beings including humanity. We hold out our hand as an invitation for you to join us.
Our immediate goal is to offer 100,000 trees to His Holiness the Dalai Lama on His Holiness’ birthday this year, and we need your help. If possible please, submit your tree planting numbers by June 26, 2020 for our July 6, 2020 offering.
How to get involved
Research: decide what kind of tree you are going to plant; will it be from seed or a sapling; what kind of care is required pre, during, and post planting? Look into the benefits of planting native trees. Make sure the tree you choose is appropriate for the location in which you plan to plant. Newly planted trees require a lot of extra love and care. During the first weeks, young trees need deep watering everyday. Please thoroughly research before you plant to ensure the longevity of your tree.
As Osel has a penchant for tree planting and as His Holiness has been campaigning for the environment since before the necessity became universally apparent, the Global Tree Initiative was hatched.
"... undefiled environments are many; for instance, a healthy tree purifies the air and supplies oxygen for living beings to breathe. It harmonizes the elements and increases life expectancy. Its shade provides a refreshing place to rest. It brings rain at the right time. It nourishes crops and livestock, and balances the temperature. It contributes to an attractive landscape and continually replenishes its surroundings. It brings about natural development in the spheres of education, economics and so forth.”
— His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
The GTI will be an ongoing campaign with tree offerings being made to His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama each year on His Holiness’ birthday (July 6th). A second set of tree offerings will be made to Lama Zopa Rinpoche each year on Lama Zopa’s birthday as well.
