Protecting forests and planting trees with the help of music and arts

Forests Without Frontiers is a non-profit CIC dedicated to planting trees and reforesting degraded landscapes with support from a network of artists and musicians, as well as businesses and individuals working to become carbon-positive.

The initiative was founded by Nicoleta Carpineanu (aka Nico de Transilvania), a Romanian, UK-based DJ/Producer who grew up in the forests of Transylvania. Our first key project is in Romania’s Carpathian mountains where we are reforesting land that has been clear-cut and where natural reforestation would not easily occur. We also have new projects in the UK, in Sussex and Devon. So far, we have planted over 100,000 trees and we aim to plant one million trees in the Carpathians and beyond by 2025. We only plant native, biodiverse species, grown locally and cared for until maturity in legally protected areas adjacent to existing natural forests.

Carbon sequestration through responsible, sustainable tree planting is a key component in addressing the climate crisis and protecting our planet, especially when done in tandem with rebuilding wildlife corridors and protecting biodiversity havens.
