The Fruit Tree Planting Foundation: Planting Fruit Trees for the Benefit of All

The Fruit Tree Planting Foundation (FTPF) is an award-winning, international non-profit organization dedicated to planting fruit trees and plants to improve the health of the environment, alleviate world hunger, combat global warming, and strengthen communities. The primary mission of FTPF is to plant and help others plant a collective total of 18 billion organic fruit trees worldwide to benefit the planet and all its inhabitants. The charity leads a variety of planting programs as well as offers resources and support to anyone interested in planting edible fruitful trees and plants. FTPF's programs are aimed at enriching the environment, providing food sources for wild and rescued animals, and enhancing human health. FTPF also secures land throughout the globe with the intention of restoring native plant ecosystems with fruit trees and plants that benefit the surrounding soil, water, air, and wild animals.

The Fruit Tree Planting Foundation's programs strategically donate orchards where the harvest will best serve communities for many generations, at places like city parks, public schools, international hunger relief sites, low-income neighborhoods, animal sanctuaries, and Native American reservations. FTPF members and supporters share a love for fruit trees, respect for nature, and a desire to build a harmonious relationship between humans and plants, animals, and the environment. The charity envisions a self-sustaining world where people can enjoy their lunch break or have a picnic anywhere and just pick and eat the healthy, delicious fruits growing overhead.

Fruit trees clean the air, prevent erosion, improve soil quality, sustain water sources, create animal habitat, and provide healthy nutrition. The Fruit Tree Planting Foundation's programs benefit humans, animals, and the environment all at once. Its work has influenced households, corporations, and governments to plant more fruit trees. A featured partner in the United Nations Billion Tree Campaign, FTPF has been covered by The Los Angeles Times, USA Today, The New York Times, The Today Show, and more.
