Urth Yarns

Each skein purchased from Urth Yarns plants a tree in Africa together with Trees for the Future!

When you plant trees...

• You're protecting the planet
  • The Forest Garden Approach restores degraded land, captures carbon, improves biodiversity, and prevents future unsustainable land use practices.
• You're ending hunger
  • Unsustainable land use is at the root of our most pressing challenges. Trees have the power to support communities, improve lives, and restore the planet.
• You're ending poverty
  • Fruit and vegetables aren't the only income generating resources in a Forest Garden. Farmers are known to start businesses selling seeds and seedlings, honey, soap, timber, and more.
• You're empowering women
  • Farmer groups in their program are required to be composed of at least 30% women. Most exceed that benchmark, with many led by our composed entirely of women farmers.
