Interview with Matt Hill from OneTreePlanted by NIKIN

Matt Hill

NIKIN is a Swiss clothing brand that has been planting trees since 2016 together with OneTreePlanted. In Summer 2018 and Spring 2019 we had the chance to get to know the people behind our partner organisation, to exchange ideas and also plant trees together.

Matt founded OneTreePlanted in 2014 with the idea to make it easy for the normal customer to do something good for nature by planting a tree. The concept is very simple: $1 = 1 tree – the trees are planted, with the help of professionals and many volunteers, in places around the world where trees have disappeared before.
