Buy A Tree 

Caring for creation. One trip at a time.

🌍 What Is Buy A Tree?

Buy A Tree is a faith-driven environmental initiative of the Star of the Sea Province, envisioned by Br Peter Carroll FMS.

 

Born from a deep love for creation and the Marist mission, it offers a simple but powerful invitation:
let your journey become a gift to the planet - a way to give back, restore, and renew.

Every time you travel, Buy A Tree. Each tree you purchase is more than a seedling - it represents care, connection, and a commitment to the Earth.

Your contribution will support the planting of native trees in 11 countries across Asia and the Pacific - from Timor-Leste to Fiji, from Vanuatu to Cambodia - each one locally planted and nurtured by Marist communities.

 

So every time you travel, you can do more than move -
you can plant hope.

Why It Matters?

Whether you are jet-setting for business, crossing oceans for leisure, or road-tripping across the countryside - every journey leaves a trace.

Buy A Tree lets you:

  • Support local Marist-led initiatives that plant, grow and protect native trees

  • Be part of a larger movement towards ecological justice and sustainability, and 

 

Join a growing community committed to restoring the land, renewing creation, and caring for our common home across the Province.  

🌱 How It Works

Step 1: Book Your Trip


Any flight, cruise, or road trip - you travel. We plant.

Step 2: Choose Your Tree Package

  • We plant one tree for a domestic return flight/car trip. 

  • We plant 2 trees for a return international flight/ocean cruise.

  • Buy in bulk – cover all your annual travel.
