Trees For The Future

A regenerative agroforestry nonprofit, Trees For The Future, trains farmers across sub-Saharan Africa in sustainable, nature-based solutions and an agroforestry technique called the Forest Garden Approach. Farming communities that are living below the poverty line, living in hunger, and farming in challenging climates and conditions are identified.

Adventures From the 2024 Trails for Trees Challenge

To honor our commitment to doing better for the planet we created the Oboz Trails for Trees Challenge. This challenge isn’t about how far or fast you can hike, but how often you go. Each time you lace up and hit the trail for at least one mile, Oboz will plant a tree.

Local Hero: Riley McGurn

Riley McGurn lives in New England, near the beautiful White Mountains. I loved hearing about how he got into the outdoors and how he’s giving back to those who can’t experience the benefits of nature in person.

"Ice Cream Shack" at Yellowstone's Bunsen Peak

Bunsen stands like a sentinel over the northwestern parts of Yellowstone and offers breathtaking 360-degree views of the region. One can see Electric Peak, Sepulcher Mountain, Antler Peak, Mount Holmes, as well as spectacular vistas of Mammoth, Gardiner Canyon, Blacktail Deer Plateau and the Yellowstone River Valley in the surrounding flats below. It is a steep climb over switchbacks for 2.2 miles, but it is very doable with patience and rest breaks at some incredible points along the way.
