Treesplease's Longleaf Valley initiative has achieved a remarkable milestone: players have collectively planted over two million trees in the real world! This success, achieved through a partnership with the Eden Reforestation Project, represents a significant CO2 offset of approximately 42,000 tonnes.
The developer is celebrating this achievement and ringing in 2025 with a new in-game Veganuary event, featuring content inspired by the official Veganuary Cookbook. This event offers players the opportunity to earn adorable baby animal rewards, regardless of their dietary preferences.
Treesplease's commitment to environmental responsibility extends beyond the game. CEO and founder Laura Carter received a Global Gaming Citizen award at the 2024 Game Awards for her climate action work, and Longleaf Valley earned the Best Purpose Driven Game award at the 2024 Playing of the Planet Awards. The "Play it, Plant It" model clearly resonates with gamers who want to contribute to positive change while enjoying their favorite pastime.
The upcoming game, Communite, further emphasizes community engagement and positive impact. For more information on Communite, check out Jupiter Hadley's preview.
