While Bangkok sets to plant more new trees to compensate for 42 million tons of emitted carbon dioxide, existing big trees are left unattended due to lack of knowledge on proper care. Big Trees organizes arborist workshops so more personnels can take proper care of big trees which bring significant atmospheric benefits. Every 2,767 THB donated supports training programs for 1 arborist to preserve big trees in Thailand.

In 1 year, Thailand emits 42 million tons of carbon dioxide with only 3 million trees in Bangkok. While Bangkok sets to plant more new trees to compensate for the emission level, existing big trees are left unattended due to lack of knowledge on nurturing and the significant atmospheric benefits they bring to the city.

Big Trees, partnering with Thammasat University, organizes arborist workshops for in-house, uncertified arborists so more certified personnels can take proper care of big trees. The workshops are sometimes opened to the public to bring about conservation of existing trees. Arborist workshops are facilitated by certified arborists where participants are taught from observing tree health to pruning and climbing without damaging the trees.

Every Baht of your donation via purchasing GiveCards or direct transaction goes to fund arborist workshops and take care of big trees in Thailand. 1 arborist training session costs 76,000 THB, which takes 6 days and 10 arborist experts to facilitate the session. One certified arborist can take care of 20 trees/month in average. Based on the training expense, to take care of 1 big tree is 11.5 THB. Every 2,767 THB donated supports training programs for 1 arborist to preserve big trees in Thailand.
