When trees and shrubs are not collected and planted immediately after harvesting, they are stored in a Tree Hub. A Tree Hub is an important link between harvesting and planting.
In a Tree Hub, trees and shrubs from different harvest days from different locations come together. They are temporarily stored in trenches until they are picked up by a planting site. Tree Hubs come in different shapes and sizes. From a small Tree Hub in a someones’ back yard, to a community garden, to an acre of land on a farm. A Treehub’s main activity is to take care of, and distribute the saplings to parties who want them, as shown below:
Before the saplings can be planted, they need to be given away to the planting locations! During a give-away, the Tree Hub is pleasantly busy. Planting locations come to collect trees and shrubs. When a Tree Hub creates a sign up link for the give-away using the treeplanner, people who want saplings choose a time slot and indicate how many trees and shrubs you would like to take. Every give-away event is different. At some locations, one can choose what trees and shrubs they want while at others, you will be given a pre-assembled package. Depending on the harvest brought in, certain tree species are available.
The Tree Planner is a digital platform on which everyone wanting to participating in More Trees Now can be connected. Tree hubs, harvest supervisors, planting locations, volunteers: they all get a profile in this online system. In the Tree Planner, you can organize and sign up for a give-away day, harvest or planting days.
