Sacred Ecology
reforestation | regeneration | rewilding
Moving beyond the conversation of conservation into reparation, relationship, and renewal.
OUR MISSION : Founded in late 2020, the mission of Root to Heaven is to work alongside communities, municipalities, individuals, and trusts to plant 1,000,000 indigenous plants within the next 5 years. By doing this Root to Heaven hopes to become a leader in regenerative culture and carbon drawdown and an internationally recognized and trusted organization for ecological rehabilitation & climate solutions.
In 2024 Root to Heaven surpassed its original goal of planting 1,000,000 plants by the 100,000,000s.
While we will continue reforestation and soil rehabilitation work, in 2025 we shift our focus to food sovereignty in urban ecosystems under a new initiative.
