Community reforestation · East Africa · verifiable

We plant trees.
Then we prove it.

Reforestation you can check yourself — by satellite and on the ground.

Proof of Forest funds community-led tree planting in East Africa and publishes the evidence openly, so anyone can verify the trees are real, alive, and still growing. No offsets to sell. No token to trade. Just forests, proven.

Why "proof"

The problem was never planting. It was trust.

For years, money for nature ran on promises — trees "planted," carbon "offset," impact "delivered" — with almost no way for anyone to check. Most of it couldn't be verified. A lot of it wasn't real.

Proof of Forest starts from the opposite end. We fund community-led reforestation, and then we make the evidence verifiable: ground data gathered on the ground, geo-tagged tree by tree, and cross-checked against free satellite imagery — while protecting the privacy of the farmers who do the work.

We're honest about what technology can and can't do. Satellites and people prove the trees exist. Independent monitoring keeps the record honest. Neither performs miracles — but together they replace "trust us" with proof you can actually check.

// We verify every plot. You see the proof — no farmer's privacy exposed.

How it works

Four steps, all in the open

Small on purpose. Every stage is designed so a skeptic can reproduce it.

01

Community plants

A vetted local partner in East Africa restores a small plot — agroforestry that pays families to keep the trees standing.

02

We measure

Geotagged ground data via mobile app, cross-checked against free Sentinel satellite imagery over time.

03

Independently verified

Every plot is checked against satellite imagery. We publish privacy-safe proof of progress — including our misses.

04

You sponsor

Back a real, tracked plot and follow it grow. A proof-of-contribution certificate — not an investment, not a claim on carbon.

No small print games

What we are — and what we're not

What we are

  • A small, honest pilot that would rather prove one hectare than promise a million.
  • A partnership — the local community holds the land and the benefit.
  • Transparent by default: open growth data and methodology, with farmers' privacy protected.
  • Independently verifiable — every plot checked against satellite imagery.

What we're not

  • Not a carbon-offset scheme, and not a licence for anyone to keep polluting.
  • Not a token to trade and not a promise of financial return.
  • Not claiming a blockchain "proves" a forest — satellites and people do that.
  • Not selling you tonnes of CO₂ we can't honestly measure yet.
The first plot

The pilot

One small plot, one vetted community partner, funded by sponsors and verified in the open. If it works, we grow it — one proven forest at a time.

Where
East Africa (Kenya / Rwanda), community-partnered agroforestry.
Scale
1–3 hectares to start. Deliberately small, fully verifiable.
Proof
Geo-tagged monitoring + open satellite data, sponsor dashboard.
