Benefits
As you prepare to attend your upcoming conference in Cyprus, we invite you to participate in an exciting and meaningful initiative: the EasyTrees Planting Program.
This program not only allows you to contribute to the beautiful landscape of Cyprus but also plays a crucial role in combating climate change and supporting local wildlife. Here’s why you should take part:
Enhance the Natural Beauty of Cyprus
Cyprus is renowned for its stunning landscapes and natural beauty. By planting trees, you are helping to preserve and enhance these picturesque environments.
Promote a Sense of Community
Joining the Tree Planting Program is a great way to bond with fellow conference attendees. In fact, working together on this project fosters a sense of community and shared purpose. It’s a wonderful opportunity to network and collaborate with others who share your commitment to environmental sustainability.
Leave a Lasting Legacy
When you plant a tree during your stay, you leave a lasting mark on the island. Imagine visiting Cyprus again, whether for another conference or a vacation, and seeing the thriving tree you helped plant.
Combat Climate Change
Climate change is a pressing global issue, and every tree planted helps mitigate its effects. Trees absorb carbon dioxide, a major greenhouse gas, and release oxygen, which we all need to breathe.
Support Local Fauna and Flora
Cyprus is known for its hot weather, which can be harsh for both people and wildlife. So, each additional tree that we plant can provide much-needed shade, creating a cooler environment and supporting the local fauna. In fact, birds, insects, and other wildlife depend on trees for shelter and food. Certainly, your trees can become a sanctuary for these creatures, promoting biodiversity and ecological balance.
Prevent Soil Erosion
Finally, trees help to stabilize the soil, preventing erosion and preserving the island’s landscapes.

Design your own Tree Planting Program
EasyConferences will support you every step of the way in your tree planting project, ensuring your initiative is successful and impactful.
This comprehensive initiative covers the purchase of trees from authorized dealers and the installation of a professional irrigation system to ensure their growth and sustainability. In addition, the entire process is conducted with complete transparency and in close collaboration with local authorities, ensuring environmental and community benefits.
To fund this initiative, we can allocate a portion of the registration fees. Additionally, we can raise extra funds through optional donations from participants or by offering them the choice to redirect their conference gift toward supporting this cause. Moreover, sponsors can play a crucial role by contributing to these projects.
Not at all; each conference can choose its own unique name for this program. EasyTrees is simply the sustainability initiative pioneered by EasyConferences to promote environmental responsibility.
A project can gain collaborative funding from multiple conferences, increasing its feasibility for all participants involved. Each tree planted significantly benefits both the local climate and the community, contributing to a greener and healthier environment. EasyConferences is committed to connecting with other conference organizers to share and support such impactful projects, ensuring collective efforts for maximum positive outcomes.
You will receive detailed documentation of your contribution, including a breakdown of the exact amount of money allocated from each conference to the designated cause. Additionally, an official letter from the relevant authorities, photos of the park, and signage installed at the location will serve as tangible evidence of your support.
