🌍 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.
