## What is Sapling?

Grow a cozy little grove that keeps growing while you're away, and turn your daily watering into real trees.

Tend a living grove
Plant seeds and watch them grow from sprout to ancient tree. Your grove gathers sunlight while you're away, and there's always something new when you come back.

Water your Real Seed
At the heart of your grove sits one Real Seed. Every drop is one short ad, watched when you choose. Right now, 94 drops fund one real tree.

Real trees, worldwide
When your Real Seed is full, it funds a real tree with our reforestation partner, Tree-Nation, planted in the project's next planting season. See where your trees take root on the globe, each with its own certificate.

Every tree, in a public log
Each tree funded in Sapling gets a number on our public tree log. Add a name to show with it, or stay "A Sapling player".

Breed your own trees
Cross two favourites in the greenhouse and raise something new: new shapes, new strengths, your own lineages.

Meet who moves in
Robins, foxes, hedgehogs and more find their way to an old, settled grove. Keep a notebook of everyone who's visited.

Or pledge a tree right away
Prefer to skip the watering? Pledge a real tree with a single purchase.

Your grove, on any phone
Sign in and your grove saves to your account, so it follows you to a new phone.

No streak guilt, no timers nagging you. Just a calm little place to come back to, and a real forest growing somewhere in the world.
