Ten Tree is a social business dedicated to providing clean and healthy air by reforesting areas where trees have been destroyed and planting forests where there were no trees existing previously.
Founded by David Luba and Kalen Emsley, the company uses apparel sales to fund the planting of new trees, with the purchase of each garment from the company providing the money needed to plant ten trees. With extensive experience in the forestry industry and a desire to protect the natural landscape, the founders committed to the provision of planting ten trees for each item sold.
Providing trees to areas across the world, the company's contribution to the environment restores the natural ecosystem, diversifies wildlife, improves air quality and, in some cases, provides food for locals living near the newly planted trees.
