7.- CAN I PICK WHERE MY TREES ARE PLANTED?

Your trees will be not designated to any particular site. This is because there are a number of factors that can change very quickly before the trees are scheduled to be planted. To name a few: (1) the weather, (2) trees available and their condition, (3) the locals' need for employment, and (4) the areas available to plant in.

8.- I HAVE NOT RECEIVED MY ORDER CONFIRMATION, WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Order confirmations can sometimes take up to 24 hours to receive due to high demand. If you have not received your order confirmation E-mail after 24 hours, please contact us at customerservice@one1seed.com with your inquiry.

9.- DO YOU PLANT ONLY INDIGENOUS SPECIES?

Eden Reforestation Projects plants only native species trees, which vary from nation to nation. We never plant or introduce any invasive species at any of our project sites. While true reforestation remains our focus, we also plant a percentage of agroforestry species for sustainable community use. This prevents the community from going into newly restored forests and provides greater community benefit and involvement in the project.

 

10.- WHAT METHOD IS USED FOR SHIPPING?

All packages are shipped via USPS, APC, DHL or FedEx.

11.- WHAT HAPPENS TO THE TREES AFTER YOU PLANT THEM?

They grow! We don't just employ the villagers to plant the trees and call it a day. Part of our process is teaching them the what, why, where and how of reforestation. So we teach them what they should and shouldn’t use, what they can cut down, what they need to leave alone, and how to responsibly care for their environment. The fact that they are planting the trees, combined with the training provided,allows them to feel a sense of ownership and pride in their forest. On top of all that, we hire guards for our reforestation sites to help keep grazing animals from eating up all the younger trees and prevent other people from coming in and cutting down what we've planted.

12.- I EMAILED YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE TEAM. WHEN SHOULD I EXPECT A RESPONSE?

We aim to respond to all E-mails within 48- 72 business hours. Please note that this timeframe may be extended during and immediately after launches.

13.- HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR MY TREES TO GROW?

This depends entirely on the species that is planted, where it's planted, and if the tree is in a good mood or not!

14.- HOW CAN I GET IN TOUCH WITH YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE TEAM?

For customer service inquiries only, please E-mail customerservice@one1seed.com

15.- HOW SOON THE TREES ARE PLANTED AFTER THE PURCHASE?

One Seed guarantees that all your trees will be planted within six months of your purchase. At the end of every three months, we compile the number of trees planted and distribute them amongst the countries who (1) have the next closest planting season and (2) have the greatest need for trees, space, trees available, and people available to plant.

You can contact Eden Reforestation Projects and verify with them that our contributions financial have been made.

18.- DO I NEED TO SET UP AN ACCOUNT TO PLACE AN ORDER?

No, but when you set up an account, you become a sowing member of One Seed where you will be accumulating seeds for rewards and promotions. It will also be added to our email list for exclusive updates in the future.

19.-  HOW DO I KNOW THE TREES WON'T BE CUT DOWN?

Many of the trees initially planted are, in fact, designed to be cut back periodically, as these are species that coppice (grow back vigorously after harvesting) time and again. These trees sustainably meet the needs of the participants, and the net result is a rapidly and constantly growing diversity within the reforested lands. Therefore, the projects you support are not only permanent but are expanding, growing in diversity and ecological benefits, year after year.

20.- CAN I CHANGE MY ORDER ONCE I'VE PLACED IT?

No, once you place an order it is final.
