In the 2024/2025 tree-planting season, HAF planted 2,537,808 seeds of change in Morocco, symbols of resilience, opportunity, and the power of community. This year, HAF carries forward that same commitment with the 2026 planting season, inspiring hope and empowering communities nationwide to cultivate a greener, more sustainable future.

The celebrations will gather diverse groups–farmers, educators, youth, families, and local organizations–who will cultivate seedlings at various locations secured through partnerships with government agencies, educational institutions, nonprofit groups, and farming collectives. This approach demonstrates HAF’s philosophy of building environmental stewardship through shared responsibility.

Having reached the milestone of one million planted seedlings in early 2014, HAF maintains its annual tradition of large-scale planting efforts. Participants will transplant multiple varieties sourced from HAF’s network of community-managed nurseries, featuring species such as olive, carob, almond, cherry, walnut, fig, pomegranate, and argan. These varieties are chosen by local agricultural families based on their adaptation to regional climates, promoting ecological diversity while strengthening natural habitats.

The daylong initiative will involve planting over 20,000 tree saplings at educational and community locations. Implementation will occur through collaboration with several supporting partners, including Yves Saint Laurent Beauty, Reforest, Planeterra, Cash Plus and more.

HAF is committed to promoting environmental sustainability through its tree planting program, encouraging local participation in protecting Morocco's natural resources. This initiative empowers communities by restoring the environment and individuals, schools, and local organizations to come together and create a positive impact. HAF invites individuals, schools, and organizations nationwide to join this effort, planting hope, one tree at a time.
