Our Plant a Tree Donation Pledge

From April 2020 we are delighted to announce that we will be planting a tree for every Drawn Together Art Print sold. We are working with the UNA Eastbourne who plant Mvule (Iroko) trees in Uganda. For every print we sell we pledge to donate the cost of planting one of these large tropical hardwood trees for the Mvule Project for Carbon Capture.  One print sold = one tree planted! 

Why plant Mvule Trees?

The Mvule tree, also known as Iroko (scientific name is Melicia Excelsa) is one of tropical Africa’s most important commercial tropical hardwoods. The Mvule tree is scientifically proven to be an exceptional tree for its unique efficiency in capturing CO2 because of its ability to store much of the captured carbon as inorganic carbon- a rock- the best long-term carbon sink. Known as the ‘tree with stones’ the iconic Mvule, through its unique biomineralization process, is also an important agroforestry tree improving soil fertility for greater food security.
