Treesplease's Longleaf Valley initiative surpasses two million trees planted! The game's debut has resulted in a remarkable environmental impact, exceeding expectations.

Players have collectively contributed to planting over two million real-world trees through a partnership with the Eden Reforestation Project, offsetting an estimated 42,000 tonnes of CO2. This significant achievement highlights the power of "gaming for good."

Celebrating Success and a Veganuary Event

Treesplease is celebrating a successful year, with CEO and founder Laura Carter receiving a Global Gaming Citizen award at the 2024 Game Awards for her climate action work. Longleaf Valley also secured the Best Purpose Driven Game award at the 2024 Playing of the Planet Awards.

To kick off 2025, Treesplease is launching a Veganuary in-game event inspired by the official Veganuary Cookbook. This event offers new content and adorable baby animal rewards for players, regardless of their dietary choices.

The "Play it, Plant It" model has clearly resonated with gamers, demonstrating a strong desire to contribute to positive change while enjoying their favorite pastime. Treesplease's success underscores the potential for impactful collaborations between gaming and environmental initiatives.
