Amsterdam is growing. Nearly a million people now live in the city, traffic congestion is increasing, and on summer days, temperatures can be up to 8 degrees Celsius higher than in the surrounding areas. Many residents long for more greenery and they’re ready to take action themselves. This is confirmed by research conducted by Stichting De Gezonde Stad and Motivaction.
🌳 85% of Amsterdam residents want more trees in their neighbourhood
🌸 75% want more flowers and plants for insects in the city
🧑🤝🧑 Over 500,000 residents are willing to actively contribute
💪 31% want to roll up their sleeves already today
Plant trees online and help turn the Amsterdam region green again.
On Saturday, 21 June 2025, the longest day of the year, Amsterdam will celebrate its 750th anniversary on the A10 Ring Road. For one day only, a section of the motorway will be transformed into a green oasis, featuring 750 large trees and 7,500 small trees. Trees for All will donate half of the small trees and ensure they are planted in and around the city after the event. In this way, the Birthday Forest will continue to grow — even after the anniversary year.
The Birthday Forest marks the beginning of our larger project
In partnership with De Groene Stelling, we will plant 75,000 trees across the Amsterdam metropolitan region. Together, we are launching a movement to make the city and its surroundings more resilient, healthy, and green. Not just for today, but for the next 750 years.
Everyone is welcome in the Birthday Forest! Stroll among the trees, listen to mythical forest stories or join the adventurous Robin Wood Expedition.
The Birthday Forest is an initiative of Stichting De Gezonde Stad, Bruno Doedens of Circle4Change and the City of Amsterdam. Made possible by entrepreneurs, civil society organisations, businesses and individuals.
Plant with usIf your company donates trees in the Amsterdam Metropolitan Region, together we will bring green back into the landscape, strengthen nature and create nice places for residents to catch their breath in greenery. We do this at various locations around Amsterdam where we plant native species in the form of woods, avenue trees, hedges and wooded banks. In this way, we connect natural areas with the city.
More and more businesses and people from Amsterdam and the surrounding region are committed to a greener living environment. Because they know that now is the time to take action. And because it feels good to contribute to a healthy future in a tangible way.
Whether you want to give something back to the region as a company or donate a tree as an individual, we take care of the planting. All you have to do is choose how many trees you contribute. Together, we will make the Amsterdam region greener and enjoy more nature. Even during a lunch walk!
Plant personal trees
We will plant your company trees in our project area in the Amsterdam region.
You can donate your company trees, e.g. using a credit card or iDeal. Payment by invoice is also possible.
As proof of your contribution, you will receive a personalised certificate with your company name on it. We will send it to you by email.
With your donation, we are greening the Amsterdam Metropolitan Region. We do this together with our project partner De Groene Stelling. Collecting trees specifically for the Amsterdam region differs from our usual way of working. With a donation, we normally plant trees worldwide through our forest projects. We plant half of the donated trees in the Netherlands and the other half abroad. This is a conscious choice. Climate change is a global problem and its effects are felt everywhere. That is why we want to make an impact worldwide.
Trees for All is a recognised foundation with CBF recognition and ANBI status. This ensures that your donation contributes to a better world!
