Decades to grow. Hours to cut down. Be one of The First 250 helping us change the equation.

THE FIRST 250 · THE BEGINNING OF A GLOBAL AMBITION

Existing trees can be felled, logged or cleared long before their natural lives are over.

TLS was created to change that equation.

We are building a global model designed to make long-term protection of existing trees more scalable — bringing together people, funding, conservation partners and accountability so that keeping trees protected can become a real alternative to cutting them down.

But every global ambition has a beginning. This is ours.

Before the first eligible project can protect a tree through the TLS model, we are bringing together The First 250 — the first people ready to say:

“When the right project is ready, I’m in.”

Your pledge helps demonstrate that people are ready to stand behind long-term tree protection before the first project begins.

How it works

Complete the supporter pledge form below. Your intention will be recorded for planning purposes only. If TLS identifies an eligible, authorized project, we may contact you with information about the opportunity.

Your pledge is non-binding. You may withdraw your intention or decline to contribute later. TLS is not currently offering a tax receipt.

Privacy

Please review our Privacy Policy before submitting your information.

Record your non-binding pledge below.

Recognition is not automatic upon submission. If your pledge is valid and qualifies within The First 250, TLS may recognise you by email as a TLS Founding Supporter.

You are not funding or protecting a tree today. You are helping build the community that can make the first eligible project — and those that follow — possible.
