The idea behind it

Many people plant trees. At home in the garden, in the forest, on trips, … Individually or in large numbers. We want to support and strengthen this, with the goal that globally, more trees will grow than disappear. Translated, that would be about 3 trees per person and year. To make us feel that we are not alone in this, that there are many people planting trees as a gift to the world, we want to make the connection between the trees – and the people who are committed to it – visible. For this, we have the interactive tree map, where everyone can add the newly planted trees. Join us and be part of the tree circle around the world!

How? Very simply:

Step 1) You plant one or more trees

Step 2) You bless the tree if you wish - for example with a song or a dedication

Step 3) You fill in our Form send us your photo – the story about the tree is also welcome

Step 4) Your tree photo will be posted here on our website* with information about the location

*Important note: Please make sure that all persons shown in the photo agree to its publication on the Internet.

Important information:
  • Please ensure that the people in the photo consent to the publication. A form for image rights can be found below in the image rights service.
  • To find out the GPS data, you can easily mark the location of your tree at the top of the map. The longitude and latitude are then automatically transferred to the form.
  • If (for whatever reason) you no longer want your picture and the story behind it to be on our website, please send us an email to info@baumkreisumdiewelt.org. We will remove your information immediately.

I have planted a tree!

Image rights service

If you are taking photos while planting trees (perhaps as part of an event), please ensure that all people consent to the publication of the photos. This can of course be done verbally – especially if you want to document it, the written form is recommended. For this, you can use, for example, these forms:

Image rights children
Image rights for young people + adults
