Is it worthwhile to plant trees?? Does it matter??
Some trees grow incredibly slowly, but it all adds up when they grow to maturity.
Trees4Trees™ first introduced the tree planting program in the village of Kertajaya, he wasn't interested . He felt this was just another initiative where officials come round making speeches and promises, and then nothing would happen. When Trees4Trees™ started sending staff in to map the area in preparation of planting, Mucholil began to change his mind.
Plant monitoring is performed in areas where Trees4Trees program is working. It is aimed at identifying the progress of the plants.

Environmental Impact Assessment/EIA
An Environmental impact Assessment (EIA) is an assessment of the possible impact—positive or negative—on the environment when a new activity/program is introduced in an area. The assessment considers natural, social and economic aspects.
The purpose of the assessment is to ensure that possible environmental impacts are considered before deciding to go ahead with the program or designs the program to avoid possible negative impact.

Trees4Trees™ has been planting trees in Central Java communities since 2007. One of the big benefits of community forestry is that in addition to added tree cover it provides an income for those communities when the trees are harvested. Some of the fast growing species planted by Trees4Trees are already coming to harvest-able maturity.
Water is the essence of life and to provide a healthy living environment for local communities, the water supply must be clean and protected.
