Eye in the sky—taking plant monitoring to new heights
TET’s recently acquired drone is keeping a watchful eye on vulnerable young plants. TET-supported projects have surpassed 300,000 plantings. Yes, you read that correctly—over 300,000
We believe it’s important to track our projects’ progress, celebrate our successes and acknowledge the many hard-working people who make them possible.
So we’ve created a storytelling space to showcase them all. Here you’ll find inspiring volunteer and donor profiles, project updates, media releases and the latest TET news. Don’t forget to bookmark the page, as we update our stories often.
We’ve also put together a Media Kit containing background information, fact sheets and stats, as well as links to a few high-resolution images. All media are welcome to download and make use of this resource.
