Origins
The Diaspora Answers The Call
For Wildfire Relief
In the Summer of 2021,
Greece was ravaged by
severe wildfires which
damaged over 125,000
hectares (300,000 acres) of
land, the most severe
wildfires in Greece since
2007.
The Hellenic Initiative
launched a wildfires
campaign to response to the
crisis and raised over
$550,000 from 4,500
supporters in 47 countries.
THI allocated these funds to
three restorative projects,
including $100,000 dedicated
to reforesting damaged land.
And the idea for Plant a Tree
in Greece was born.
125,000
In 2021, approximately 125,000 hectares of forest and arable land were burnt during the worst fire season in Greece since 2007.
63%
Fires were responsible for 63% of tree cover loss in Greece between 2001 and 2022.
550,000

Global Goals
The Plant A Tree In Greece Program
In May 2022, THI launched an
ongoing and worldwide
campaign.
Plant a Tree in Greece offers
Greeks of the Diaspora and
Philhellenes the opportunity,
to purchase a tree for $25 to
be planted in Greece.
The trees will be planted to
restore, re-balance and re-
forest the natural
environment from the
damage of the wildfires, as
well as to restore and support
livelihoods destroyed by the
fires.
Trees can be planted for any
occasion, to mark a life event,
or to celebrate and support
our roots and the country that
gave us our heritage.
Large programs of 500 trees
($12,500) or more may be
customized in partnershio
