sharing knowledge is
saving trees

 

Who we are

The foundation was initiated by Jeroen Heindijk, whose career has been almost entirely devoted to trees, exploring the ways in which trees and humans interact, and the inspirational role trees play for us. He is particularly passionate about old trees, and through this project he wants to help protect them.

The foundation has a growing group of volunteers using the map to register trees of all kinds, increasing these trees’ visibility and offering them more protection. You can help by making a small donation or by getting involved as a volunteer. meedoen als vrijwilliger (we houden je op de hoogte via de nieuwsbrief) of een (kleine) donatie storten.

The advisory Board are:

  • Marjan van Elsland
  • Ted van den Bergh
  • Matthijs Schouten
  • Bert de Graaff
  • Wouter Shinju Limmen
