How it Works
Invest
Your investment funds the planting and care of Empress Splendor trees. For every $1,000 invested we plant ¼ acre of trees. Each acre planted offsets your carbon footprint for a decade.
Grow
Dedicated farmers are guided through a 39-point selection criteria, including site visits and soil analysis. We train and support farmers from planting through to harvest to ensure maximum yield and quality of the lumber.
Harvest
In 8-12 years, we harvest and sell the lumber to our network of customers, including manufacturers of furniture, cabinets, guitars, boats, and more.
Profit
Profits are shared: 30% to investors like you, 20% to World Tree, and 50% to the farmers.
“Grow trees, help save the planet and maybe make a profit in the process? That just about covers all the bases, doesn’t it?”
Offset Your Carbon Footprint for the Next Decade
Empress trees are among the fastest and most powerful carbon-capturing trees in the world. Just one acre can absorb up to 103 metric tons of carbon dioxide every year — the equivalent of taking 80 cars off the road — for good. Your investment helps create real, measurable impact for the planet.
We already have the world's best carbon capture technology.
