Treesplease's Longleaf Valley initiative has achieved a remarkable milestone: players have collectively planted over two million trees in the real world! This success, in partnership with the Eden Reforestation Project, has offset an estimated 42,000 tonnes of CO2.
The positive impact extends beyond tree planting. Treesplease is launching a new in-game event for 2025, inspired by Veganuary and its cookbook, offering players fresh content and adorable baby animal rewards. Participation is open to everyone, regardless of dietary preferences.
