From order to timber

How it works, step by step.

You choose a number of trees. Clearworld BV sells them to you, plants and looks after them on its own plantations in Belgium and France, pays a yearly amount it promises, not guaranteed, while they grow and intends to buy them back at harvest. GrowGreen runs this site and your account for it.

Your trees are assigned

Once they are established, which takes about two years, each tree gets its own serial number and GPS coordinates, and your account shows the plantation and the tree numbers.

Harvest

After 7 to 9 years the timber is sold. The grower intends to buy your trees back out of the sale. A right, not an obligation.
