{"slug":"land-life-company","name":"Land Life Company","tagline":"Amsterdam nature-restoration company planting large-scale forests in Spain, Australia and the US for carbon and CSR","description":"Land Life Company is an Amsterdam-based for-profit nature-restoration company (self-described social enterprise) that designs, plants and monitors large-scale reforestation on degraded land for corporate carbon-removal credits and CSR planting programmes, with teams in the Netherlands, Spain (Burgos), Australia (Kyneton, VIC), the US and Iceland. Its ten-year review reports 10 million trees planted and 11,250 hectares restored across 14 countries and 130+ projects; its portfolio page (Nov 2026) cites 12 million+ trees, 16,900 ha restored and 180+ projects, with current projects in Spain, Australia, Indonesia and Mexico. In July 2022 a spark from a contractor's excavator preparing a Land Life planting site near Ateca (Zaragoza, Spain) started a wildfire that burned more than 1,400 hectares within days (later estimates in press coverage were around 14,000 hectares) and forced village evacuations; the company accepted responsibility and apologised.","website_url":"https://landlifecompany.com","logo_url":null,"founded_year":2013,"org_type":"company","scope":"global","headquarters":{"city":"Amsterdam","region":"North Holland","country":"NL","lat":52.3625,"lng":4.9199},"volunteer_url":null,"donation_url":null,"events_url":null,"featured":false,"trees_on_record":12000000,"primary_activity":"reforestation","activities":[{"slug":"reforestation","name":"Reforestation","primary":true},{"slug":"carbon-offset-planting","name":"Carbon offset planting","primary":false},{"slug":"research-monitoring","name":"Research & monitoring","primary":false}],"updated_at":"2026-11-08T00:02:16.194Z","url":"https://treerm.org/org/land-life-company","markdown_url":"https://treerm.org/org/land-life-company.md","api_url":"https://treerm.org/api/v1/organizations/land-life-company","data_note":"Land Life publishes no dated annual impact report.
