One Tree Planted

1 FWT order = 1 tree
For every order on the FWT webshop we will plant 1 tree in British Columbia, Canada, a region that’s very dear to us freeride lovers! We are partnering with One Tree Planted to help and rebuild a forest there.
Why trees ?
Trees help clean the air we breathe, filter the water we drink, and provide habitats to over 80% of the world's terrestrial biodiversity. 
Forests provide jobs to over 1.6 billion people, absorb harmful carbon from the atmosphere, and are key ingredients in 25% of all medicines. 
Why British Columbia, Canada ?
Well, first of all, as one of our FWT stops is in Kicking Horse, Golden, BC we have a special connection with that region. British Columbia is characterized by abundant forests, rugged Pacific coastline, mountains, plateaus, and pristine lakes and rivers. Forests cover two-thirds of the province – an area of almost 60 million hectares. However, in summer 2017, B.C. experienced its worst wildfire in history, with over 1.2 million hectares burned, and we want to help them get this magnificent forest back.
