OUR MISSION
behind trees for me
Did you know that it takes ten trees to support one life?
We did not, and this is what prompted us to start this initiative to help plant trees around the world
Trees For Me is a non profit created with the mission to support and sustain life on this planet.
Our goal is to ensure that for every living human being, there are ten living trees.
A person needs oxygen from at least ten trees to survive a lifetime. We take Earth's biome and trees for granted. Our symbiotic relationship with trees is seen as a given without any effort to sustain it. Unfortunately, there aren't nearly enough trees in the world for everyone. And we intend to change that.
At Trees For Me, we like to believe that every tree planted creates a better life. Join us in our pursuit to fill the world with green, ten trees at a time.

who we are
Harini Rajesh
Founder
Growing up, I was the kid who stayed up late staring at the stars and spent weekends digging in the garden with my mom. I was just genuinely obsessed with the world around me. When I got older and started learning about climate change, something shifted. I couldn't just sit with that knowledge and do nothing. So I founded Trees For Me, starting simple: plant 10 trees at a time. I'm now a sophomore at Cornell studying Economics and Environmental Science, continuing my passion for helping the environment through my studies and extracurriculars. Trees For Me is my way of making that real: one tree, one conversation, one community at a time.
Anvita Gurumurthy
Co-founder
I've always felt most at home in nature. My earliest memories are of reading in the branches of old oaks near my home in Germany and planting trees with my grandfather in India. As I grew older and learned more about the climate crisis and deforestation, these experiences pushed me to act and co-found Trees For Me. Now a student at NYU Stern, I know how much it meant to grow up with that closeness to the earth, and through Trees For Me, I hope to give something back to it, and to make sure future generations get to grow up the way I did.
