About us
Seed It Forward is an agroforestry initiative founded in 2015. The goal of the initiative is to “grow trees and people for a greener Moldova”. They do it with persistence, day by day, by planting and growing trees and other plants in different regions of the country, and sharing their passion and skills with other people, especially those ones who have never planted a tree in their life.
The main idea of the initiative, promoted through direct actions and inspiring examples, is that: Everybody can grow a healthy tree. Everybody can create a productive organic orchard. Everybody can plant a forest. Everybody can be part of the solution, not just part of the problem.
Seed It Forward’s long-term projects include:
- Revitalization of a former landfill – continuous process since autumn 2015
- Planting orchards
- Planting protective belts along rivers
- Making first steps against severe land degradation process in Riscova village – since autumn 2016
- Solar food dehydrator (promotion of natural foods everyone can produce, and renewable energy)
- Open Tree Nursery – a place where people can plant various seeds together with Seed It Forward team, take care of them while they grow into seedlings and thus observe the life of trees from the very beginning.
The most recent development is the Carbon Footprint Offset project – raising awareness about our personal ecological footprint, offering precious tips on how to reduce the emissions, and showing the right path towards considering yourself eco-neutral at least.
Besides that, Seed It Forward team offers various services – consultations about tree-growing and permaculture; teambuilding activities; tools (in good hands), etc. More about this here: Services and Products.
Since autumn 2015, more than 600 people have been directly involved – result of fruitful cooperation with local communities, especially youth, local authorities, local and international companies, organizations, volunteers and initiatives.
