1 Million More Trees in 2021

A million more trees equals cleaner air, a cooler planet, a more stable climate and a healthy habitat for many species of plants and animals. Let's DREAM BIG and plant a million more trees.

Here’s our progress so far.

1,800,276 trees planted as of november 2021

Goal of 2,000,000

Donate Trees

The Dave Matthews Band 2021 Tour has committed to help plant an additional one million trees with The Nature Conservancy's Plant a Billion Trees program, a global forest restoration effort, having fully funded a million trees in 2020 despite tour rescheduling. With your help and with commitments from the band, The Dreaming Tree Wines, DocuSign and other tour partners, we can help advance this goal in an effort to regreen our planet.

Helping the planet is bigger than us, but it starts with each of us.

Help Us Plant a Million More Trees

Donate to Plant Trees

These trees will be planted across the globe in the U.S., Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, China, Kenya and Tanzania. By restoring these healthy forests, we will provide many benefits to our everyday lives from helping to curb the effects of climate change, to providing clean air and fresh drinking water, to securing homes for thousands of species of plants and animals.

How You Can Help

Dave Matthews Band fans will have the opportunity to support the effort and contribute $2 to plant a tree per ticket when purchasing tickets for the 2021 Tour through Ticketmaster or Warehouse, The Official Dave Matthews Band Fan Association.

Ngare Ndare Forest Reserve

We’re working with community forest associations to restore & conserve the natural forest, and to plant trees for sustainable timber supply, reducing pressure on the natural forest

Coastal Tanzania

We’re using science to help communities plant the right types of mangroves in the right place at the right time.

Upper Great Lakes

Our work over the last 15 years has focused on protecting large tracts of forests that are threatened in this area.

Mississippi Bottomland Hardwood

Bottomland hardwood forests once covered over 21 million acres along the waterways and tributaries of the Mississippi River, but only two percent remain.

Shortleaf Pine

Shortleaf pine forests once covered a vast area but now more than 50% have been lost. We are working to restore these iconic forests.

Central Appalachian Forests

Central Appalachian forests filter and store clean drinking water for millions of people for the Ohio River Valley and Washington D.C. areas.

Longleaf pine was once a dominant forest across nine states from Virginia to Texas. Now that very little of the forest remains, we are working to bring it back to life.

Colombia

22% of the country’s deforestation is taking place in this areas of the country.

Longleaf Pine

One of five biological hotspots in North America. It is unique to Florida and home to a disproportionate number of imperiled species and the longleaf pine sandhill uplands.
