We protect old olive trees on Crete and plant new trees from their gene pool so that these and old varieties do not die out. In addition, we are fighting climate change, where every tree sponsor can make a contribution to improving the environment. Change nature with us for the better and get an ecosystem. Many celebrities from all over the world support our work and action.
Unfortunately, more and more olive trees have to give way to the saw for a variety of reasons, be it poverty or greed for profit, to name just a few.
When booking, please let us know if you would like to protect an old olive tree or if you would like to plant a young olive tree. As an individual, as a couple a love tree, as a family a family tree or as a gift for a special occasion.

What To Expect
We meet at the agreed meeting point, so it is important to be mobile. If this is not the case, a meeting point can be arranged with us so that we can take you with us.
We drive with you together to the olive grove. There you can attach your name tag to your sponsorship tree. Here you have the opportunity to take many photos and also a video of it and we also produce photos and videos. We then toast the sponsorship together at the sponsorship tree. Depending on the chosen sponsorship, the sponsors will then also receive their sponsorship package from us.
Would you rather plant an olive tree? Then you can plant an olive tree from our Cretan Lazarus project on an olive grove with us. We pull new cuttings from the gene pool of the old monumental olive trees as well as from varieties that are threatened with extinction. All newly planted olive trees today have been grown in such a way that these trees are only 2 generations old at most. By planting an olive tree cutting from our Cretan Lazarus project, you are doing something good for nature and for the preservation of the climate.
