Transform your vacation into a meaningful travel experience. At Trafalgar, we are dedicated to reducing our environmental impact and giving back to the local communities that need an extra helping hand.
In conjunction with our partner One Tree Planted, we promise to plant one tree for every guest who uses our travel e-Documents. Not only does this service allow you to access your important travel information at the click of a button, but you’ll be helping us to reforest 500 acres of barren and devastated land across Tanzania and Northern California – two locations that are close to our heart.
Forget getting down and dirty. By continuing to use e-Documents, you’ll have the opportunity to change the planet for the good – without lifting a finger. Why trees, you ask? Read on to discover why we’re so passionate about this cause and learn more about our partnership with One Tree Planted on our blog.
The sunny state of California might be on top of most traveler’s bucket lists, but sadly, severe wildfires and recent droughts have threatened native species and destroyed over a million acres of forest in the area. With our own Trafalgar USA team based in California, we want to make a difference – but we need your help. Together, with One Tree Planted, we can start to restore the damage so travelers can continue to enjoy the spectacular natural scenery of Northern California.
As a part of The Travel Corporation – owned by the Tollman family who originate from South Africa – Trafalgar is passionate about the reforestation of their homeland. Drought and deforestation have become such an alarming problem throughout Tanzania, locals and native animals struggle to survive in what is rapidly becoming a dangerously unliveable ecosystem. Join us as we aim to repair the damage caused and breathe life back into a destination that is a part of our own family’s heritage.
It might not be easy being green, but it is important to the survival of our planet.
Before you jet off on your next global adventure, discover why planting trees will benefit every traveler.
Trees reverse the damage we do with carbon emissions and reduce the effects of climate change. Through their leaves and bark, trees absorb harmful pollutants and carbon dioxide, and produce oxygen into the atmosphere.
Deforestation of trees is hugely detrimental for biodiversity. Hundreds of species of insects, fungi, mammals and plants make trees their homes. Different animals require different habitats to live in, so by planting more trees, we are taking steps to safeguard our planet’s species.
While the forestry industry provides a multitude of job opportunities, humans also rely on sustainable tree farming to provide wood and materials for shelter, cooking and heating.
