As soon as your order is placed, our team begins processing your tree planting request. You’ll receive a personalized digital certificate by email within 12 hours of purchase. This certificate will include the recipient’s name, a confirmation of the number of trees planted, and the exact Google Maps coordinates of your tree(s).

If you need your certificate sooner (for example, as a last-minute gift), we recommend emailing us your order number at support@plantingcalifornia.com to speed up the process.

Yes! Unlike many global tree-planting programs that spread resources across multiple countries, we are fully dedicated to restoring California’s forests, which have been severely damaged by wildfires.

We work with local reforestation partners who plant native species like redwoods in designated recovery areas. Your contribution directly supports local reforestation, biodiversity recovery, and carbon capture in California.

Each tree planted is more than just an environmental action—it’s a lasting tribute. Our certificates can be personalized with the recipient’s name, making them perfect for:

🎂 Birthdays

💕 Anniversaries

🕊 Memorials

💍 Weddings

🎁 Corporate gifts

Instead of giving flowers or cards that fade, your gift grows stronger every year—helping restore forests, protect wildlife, and fight climate change.

Because every purchase directly funds the planting of a tree and the creation of a certificate, all sales are final. Once a tree has been dedicated and the certificate issued, the action cannot be reversed.

However, we want you to feel confident in your purchase. If there is an error in your certificate (such as a misspelled name, wrong date, or missing email delivery), please contact us within 7 days of purchase, and we will gladly correct and resend it at no extra cost.
