At Ben's Canna, we are thrilled to announce our official partnership with One Tree Planted, a globally recognized non-profit organization committed to reforestation and environmental sustainability. In our shared pursuit of a greener planet, we have pledged to plant a tree in the beautiful state of California for every single product sold. This initiative is a reflection of our deep commitment to not only enhancing wellness through our products but also nurturing the health of our planet.

With every purchase, our customers embark on a meaningful journey with us, contributing to the vital reforestation efforts in California. As a token of our appreciation and to commemorate this significant contribution, each customer will receive a personalized certificate via email, alongside a warm welcome letter included with their first order. This partnership with One Tree Planted is more than just a commitment to environmental stewardship; it's a cornerstone of Ben's Canna's ethos, representing our dedication to sustainability, community engagement, and the positive impact we aspire to make in the world. Together, let's cultivate wellness and a healthier planet, one tree at a time.

The combination of low precipitation and record high temperatures during California's most recent drought (2012–16) resulted in dramatically increased tree mortality and large, severe wildfires. The State Forest Service now spends over 50% of its budget fighting fires, when a decade ago it was less than 20%.California’s forests need active management in order to improve their health, reduce the risk of major wildfires and pest infestations, and protect this beautiful natural playground for future generations. Our amazing reforestation partners work with several state and federal forestry assistance programs as well as private landowners, aiming to improve the health and productivity of forest lands.As well as recovering fire-damaged lands, your support for reforestation in California will help restore native species that are endangered by fungus and bark beetle infestations, such as the Sugar Pine.

If you happen to venture these pristine landscapes, you'll find yourself immersed in majestic forestry where giant coastal redwoods take the stage, often surrounded by rare plants. Unfortunately, five years of drought and large-scale bark beetle infestation have seriously damaged these once-thriving forests. Not to mention, 2017's record-breaking wildfire season burned more than 1.3 million acres – an area the size of Delaware. 2020's fire season have consumed close to 3 million acres, resulting in hundreds of millions of trees that must be restored. Together, let's restore California's forests so that we can continue to enjoy their natural beauty for many years to come!

Trees play a vital role in maintaining the liveliness of California communities. With your contribution, we will help restore areas affected by wildfires throughout the whole of California, thus producing ecological benefits such as habitat restoration and erosion control. With these funds, hard-working foresters will dedicate time to promote improved vegetation planning and resource management, helping to reduce the risk of catastrophic fires and floods in the region.

A personalized tree certificate to say thanks for your donation. We’ll also send you reports on the California project, so you can track the impact your trees are having on the community and environment.

In order to maximize the impact of your donation, we will determine the most appropriate species to plant, based on the time of year. Some of the species we will plant include the Sugar Pine, California Redwood (known as the State Tree), Maple, Elderberry, Willow, Birch, Dogwood, Cedar, Giant Sequoia, and Walnut.
