There is no single answer when it comes to restoring forests.
At more trees, we practice diverse forest restoration—tailoring our approach with consideration for local climate, history, land conditions, and the people involved.
We choose tree species, spacing, and planting methods that suit each site, often aiming to shift toward more diverse and resilient ecosystems.
After planting, we continue to care for the forest through undergrowth clearing, thinning, and replanting, ensuring long-term forest health and sustainability.
Forests take time to grow, and they require ongoing care.
In Japan, forests have been nurtured through a close relationship between people and nature: trees are planted, maintained, and harvested with care.
By using timber from the forest, we generate revenue that can be returned to forest care—sustaining the cycle of care that allows us to pass on the forests we’ve inherited to future generations.
At More Trees, we plan and sell original products made from domestic timber and other forest resources. We also support clients in sourcing custom wood items and novelty goods, and assist in creating interior spaces such as shops and offices that feature sustainable wood.
*Projects related to wood use are managed by more trees design Inc.
A carbon offset is an initiative aimed at achieving a decarbonized society by compensating for CO₂ emissions from business activities and other sources through renewable energy and the carbon absorption capacity of forests.
More Trees offers carbon offset services that utilize forest-based carbon credits generated through certified forest activities that absorb CO₂.
One of the unique features of our carbon offset services is the transparency of their origin. Our “traceable” offsets clearly show when, where, and how each credit was generated. Most of the credits we handle are certified under the J-VER or J-Credit schemes in Japan.
The proceeds from these credits are returned to forest conservation efforts in local communities, contributing not only to climate action but also to the sustainable stewardship of forests.
No matter where we live, we all benefit from forests.
Yet for those living in cities, forests can feel distant from daily life.
We want people to feel closer to forests, understand the challenges forests face, and above all, we want them to experience the beauty and richness that forests offer.
That’s why we create opportunities through events,
workshops, seminars, and tours that invite people to engage
with forests in a meaningful way.
LIFE311 was a recovery support project launched in response to the Great East Japan Earthquake.
It supported the construction costs of timber temporary housing built independently by Sumita Town in Iwate Prefecture, and donated wood pellet stoves to residents.
The project concluded on March 31, 2020, following the closure of the housing.
We sincerely thank everyone who supported us throughout the years.
