Plant A Tree Programme

Caring for trees and the environment is the social responsibility of every individual. The Plant-A-Tree Programme is a platform for organisations and individuals to actively participate in the greening of our City in Nature by planting trees.

Every tree planted will also contribute to the OneMillionTrees movement to plant one million more trees across Singapore over ten years till 2030. This aims to restore nature back to our city and redouble our efforts to green our urban infrastructure on an unprecedented scale.

Why plant trees?

Why plant more trees in Singapore? Aren't there enough trees already? Well, definitely not.

Trees are like any other living organism, which will grow old and become weak. Hence, in order to sustain our lush greenery, we need to constantly plant new trees.

Plant a tree and enhance Singapore's greenery

The aim of this programme is to give you a chance to donate to the cost of a young tree and plant it yourself. It's a special kind of connection with Nature when you plant a tree yourself.

Your $300 donation enables you to plant a tree in one of NParks-managed green spaces. This contribution covers not just the tree and site preparation, but also supports vital community and capacity building initiatives - from education and research to outreach programmes. These efforts help strengthen people's connection with nature, advancing our City in Nature vision under the Singapore Green Plan 2030.

Your donation also qualifies for a 2.5 times tax deduction, provided you provide us with a valid NRIC/FIN number (for individuals) or local UEN/Business Registration Number (for organisations) within 5 working days of making your donation. We will file your donation details directly with IRAS, and these will be automatically reflected in your tax assessment the following year.

As part of our environmental commitment since 2018, we no longer issue physical receipts. However, if you would like an e-receipt, please email your request to garden_city_fund@nparks.gov.sg.
