Since 1990, American Forests have planted more than 45 million trees, restored watersheds to help provide clean drinking water and replanted forests destroyed by human action and natural disasters. Plus, their programs such as Urban Forests aim to raise awareness about the environmental, social and economic benefits of urban trees.

"We are thrilled to bring American Forests on board with our mission to better serve our communities," says Co-founder of GIV Mobile Omar Aqel.  "With over 20 years of experience in 44 countries, we feel that American Forests is an amazing organization and together we can preserve current forests and regrow those that have been destroyed."

"American Forests applauds the exemplary role that GIV Mobile is taking to promote the importance of forests to its customers," said Lea Sloan, American Forests' vice president of communications. "Forests are the single most important land-based ecosystem ensuring the health of the planet. Beyond providing clean air and water, biodiversity -- and mitigating climate change -- there is nothing like the solace that comes from an energy-restoring walk in the woods."
