Since the brand's inception in 2016, we have committed to planting 10 trees for every hat sold. Today, thanks for our community, we have now planted over 200 acres of Forest Gardens in Senegal, Africa. Why? Because we want to invest in a healthy environment for our future generations.
OUR IMPACT PARTNER
A SHORT FILM
Local community members enter a four-year training program to turn degraded land into a fertile Forest Garden (FGA). Experts developed it with over 30 years of experience of planting trees across the globe. This focus on training creates a sustainable, balanced ecos-systems that helps new forest to grow & delivers a local organic food supply chain.
‘Planting 1 tree is incredible, planting 10 trees can be a truly powerful thing’

OUR IMPACT
ACRES OF FOREST GARDENS
Thanks to our community we have planted 200 Forest Gardens, at an average of 1 acre & 4000 trees per forest garden.
Thats about the size of
3200 tennis courts
TONS OF CARBON
Forest Gardens constantly pull in carbon from the atmosphere, creating lasting carbon sinks. Together we will pull in 28963 metric tonnes of carbon, and each hat contributes 580kg. Every hat has a lasting effect on the global environment.
580kg is about the size
of an adult grizzly
PEOPLE PLANTED OUT OF POVERTY
The people that look after the Forest Gardens
become food secure after year 2. Instead of relying
on peanuts, they have a endless supply of fresh
organic produce, from which they produce income.
Providing economic incentives is key to the
programs success.
Bio diversity also
returns to the land
WHAT THEY SAY
Our favourite part is giving our
customers the opportunity to
contribute to the global environment.
