Trees for Albania

Our Projects

Trees for Albania implements two main projects, the Reforestation and Tree nurseries. Both rely heavily on the local community to execute the infield operations. This creates a strong relationship towards our projects within the community and allows us to contribute to the local economy by providing new jobs opportunities.

REFORESTATION

Reforestation is our core mission, to restore and rehabilitate the most damaged high-altitude forests across Albania. What started in Lurë in 2020 continues in Voskopojë in 2025, as we remain on the lookout for new places to grow.
