veritree
Solar Energy World has partnered with veritree to provide restorative solutions to impacted ecosystems across the United States. veritree is a data-driven, restorative platform that connects nature-based solutions with mission-driven companies ready to lead the restorative economy. With on-the-ground monitoring and blockchain verification, veritree improves transparency and trust through data and tools that revitalize ecosystems, strengthen communities, and build climate solutions.
veritree is designed to improve transparency and trust through data and tools that revitalize ecosystems, strengthen communities, and build climate solutions. veritree currently runs its global restoration network via on-the-ground monitoring, using mobile devices in the hands of local community members to measure impact, and engaging sponsors and stakeholders on their impacts through our platform.

Florida State Forest
Once dominating the southern coastal plain of North America, longleaf pine forests are among the most diverse ecosystems in the country. Over time, land use changes, overutilization, and fire suppression have drastically reduced these forests, leaving less than 5% of their original extent. Withlacoochee State Forest, a vital part of this ecosystem, has faced similar challenges due to centuries of alteration. In partnership with the Florida Forest Service, this project is restoring the longleaf pine and sandhill ecosystem, supporting biodiversity and enhancing the health of the Withlacoochee River watershed, a vital water source spanning eight counties.
Klamath Falls Basin, OR
Oregon’s forests have long suffered from the impacts of fire suppression, leading to overgrown landscapes that are more vulnerable to devastating wildfires. The Klamath Falls Basin, once a vibrant ecosystem and critical habitat for bald eagles and endangered fish, has been especially affected.
A groundbreaking reforestation effort is now underway to restore the region’s tree canopy and enhance water quality. This transformative project will revitalize ecosystems, safeguard biodiversity, and ensure a sustainable future for wildlife and communities alike, contributing to long-term climate resilience.
Sierra Nevada, CA
The 2013 Rim Fire scorched over 250,000 acres of Sierra Nevada forest, leaving a lasting impact on local ecosystems. A multi-year restoration effort is underway to restore native forest cover, improve water quality, and provide vital habitat for wildlife. By planting a diverse range of tree species, the project aims to reduce wildfire risks, promote healthy fire cycles, and prevent the landscape from being overtaken by shrubs. This restoration will enhance carbon sequestration, support biodiversity, and ensure a resilient, thriving forest for generations to come.
