Green Triumph: Celebrating 100,000 Trees Planted in Africa

By Jonathan 24 July 2024

Thanks to the overwhelming support of our customers, we have achieved a huge milestone - planting 100,000 trees across the landscape of Africa in our tree planting project. This milestone is not just a number but also represents a growing forest of opportunities and a thriving ecosystem that supports both people and the planet.

Planting Tree Saplings

The Impact on the Environment, Economy and Communities

Planting these 100,000 trees marks a significant stride in combating environmental and economic challenges in the region. Each tree provides essential shelter and resources for local wildlife, helps restore soil health, and reduces carbon dioxide levels in our atmosphere. Moreover, these efforts contribute directly to local economies. Communities involved in the tree planting initiative gain sustainable income sources, empowering them with financial stability and fostering community development.

Sustaining Partnerships and Empowering Futures

Our ongoing partnership with the International Tree Foundation (ITF) continues to flourish as we work together toward our shared vision of a greener, more sustainable environment. The ITF has been instrumental in ensuring that every tree planted maximises the benefits to communities and the planet. 

"Get Laid Beds commitment to sustainability is core to our business. Planting 100,000 trees in Africa, through our decade long partnership with the International Tree Foundation, demonstrates our dedication to environmental conservation. This milestone reflects our ongoing effort to create a positive environmental impact across continents.

As a company using Earth's resources, we're committed to environmental stewardship. Planting 100,000 trees is just the start. We invite our global customers to join our sustainability journey, turning every new beautiful bed in their home into an opportunity to nurture our planet and give back. Together, we're striving for a more sustainable future."

To Celebrate 100,000 Trees

In celebration of this incredible milestone, we donated an Oxford Bed with underbed storage and a side table to One Roof Leicester, and our assembly team were delighted to personally set it up on delivery day. This wonderful local charity offers vital support and a safe space to people facing homelessness, including refugees, asylum seekers, and those who are vulnerably housed. One Roof Leicester doesn’t just provide accommodation—they empower people to heal, rebuild, and move forward. Their work also extends to uniting communities to create sustainable housing, advocating for better services, and fostering greater understanding.

Thank you for your continued support. Each tree planted is a step closer to a healthier planet and a testament to what we can achieve together.

World Conservation Day

Each year, on July 28th, people across the globe unite to observe World Conservation Day. This is a day that has been dedicated to the importance of preserving and protecting our natural resources. It’s an excellent opportunity to celebrate our world and coincides perfectly with our incredible 100,000 tree achievement.

Here are a few ways you can join in:

  1. Organise a Clean-Up:
    Get involved in or organise a beach, river, or local cleanup. Clearing litter from these areas protects wildlife and helps prevent pollution.

  2. Plant a Tree:
    Trees are vital in fighting climate change and offering habitats for wildlife. Search around or organise a tree-planting event in your community. You could even plant a tree in your garden to contribute to the cause.

  3. Conserve Water:
    Be mindful of your water usage. Take shorter showers, don’t leave taps running, and collect rainwater for outdoor plants.
