Adopt a Tree

Every contribution counts. Our vision is to recreate the Koumas Forest.

This call is for everyone with an essential connection to Patmos and the Aegean environment.

We need your participation and support.

You can donate directly through the Community of Trees IBAN.

Why forests matter

Forests protect watersheds that supply fresh water to rivers, which are critical sources of drinking water.

Forests are home to 80% of the world's terrestrial biodiversity.

Afforestation plants trees on land that was never forested. Reforestation plants trees on land that had forest cover before.
