"Longleaf Valley Debut by Treesplease Plants Over Two Million Trees"

When we talk about gaming for good, it's not every day we get to see the tangible outcomes of such initiatives. But today, Treesplease, the creators behind their debut game Longleaf Valley, have shared some exciting news: their efforts have resulted in over two million real-world trees being planted! This remarkable achievement was made possible through their partnership with the Eden Reforestation Project, which has also helped offset approximately 42,000 tonnes of CO2. It's a clear testament to the power of gaming when directed towards positive environmental impact.

As we step into 2025, Treesplease is not slowing down. They're launching a new Veganuary event inspired by the Veganuary Cookbook, offering players new in-game content that celebrates this annual challenge. Whether you're fully committed to a vegan lifestyle, just curious, or skeptical, you'll find plenty to enjoy during this event. Plus, there's the added bonus of unlocking adorable baby animal rewards, making it a fun and rewarding experience for all players.

It's been a stellar year for Treesplease, marked by significant recognition. Their CEO and founder, Laura Carter, was honored with the Global Gaming Citizen award at the 2024 Game Awards for her contributions to climate action. Additionally, Longleaf Valley was celebrated as the Best Purpose Driven Game at the 2024 Playing of the Planet Awards. These accolades highlight the success of Treesplease's "Play it, Plant It" model, which resonates deeply with gamers who want to make a difference while enjoying their favorite pastime.

The gaming community's enthusiasm for initiatives like Treesplease's demonstrates a growing interest in combining fun with meaningful action. As we look forward, the upcoming game Communite also promises to engage players with themes of community and improvement.
