London, England (October 16, 2023): Tentsile, an award-winning brand known for being first to market with their portable Tree Tents, has reached their target of planting one million trees in ten years, along with their tree planting partners including veritree, Eden Reforestation Project and WeForest. Since Tentsile’s inception, the brand has been planting 20 trees for each tent and hammock sold. These trees have been planted all over the world – from Zambia and Madagascar, to the USA, India and Nepal. More information on Tentsile’s planting efforts can be found here – where you can see the exact location verified trees are being planted.
“Protecting and preserving the World’s forests has always been at the very heart of everything we do here at Tentsile,” shared Alex Shirley-Smith, founder and CEO of Tentsile, “We don’t plant trees so that we can sell more gear – in fact it’s the exact opposite – we sell tents so that we can plant as many trees as possible. It is that simple, and we will continue to plant trees with our valued partners.”
The inspiration of Tentsile was focused around the environment. Founder Alex Shirley-Smith was seeking a way to encourage more people to spend time outdoors, and in particular, in woodlands and forests. He knew that in doing so, people would have more time and space to reflect on the beauty of their local woodlands from the comfort of a Tree Tent, and hopefully would be inspired to protect them from over development and the wider perils of deforestation.
“Congratulations to Tentsile on the remarkable milestone of planting their one millionth tree. Their unwavering commitment to nature restoration sets a powerful example for businesses everywhere.”said David Luba, Co-Founder and Head of Partnerships at veritree. “Tentsile has demonstrated that by integrating nature restoration into their operations, they can make a profound impact on our environment. We applaud Tentsile for their outstanding efforts in taking a stand for a more sustainable future, and we’re thrilled to stand alongside them in this vital journey of restoring and preserving nature.”
To celebrate meeting the 1 million tree target, Tentsile is hosting a giveaway where one lucky winner will receive free Tentsile gear for the next five years. Each year on the anniversary of this competition, one winner will receive a $1000 USD gift card to redeem at www.tentsile.com. The giveaway will run from October 16 through October 31, 2023.
