Photo Gallery: Planting Trees with tentree

Active Junky recently rocked (and reviewed) tentree duds. Though the threads are top-notch, the most gripping facet of the Canadian company’s story is the fact that 10 trees are planted for every item you purchase. We wanted to get a glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes, and asked tentree to send over a few photos that depict their environmental mission in action. Take a look at these tentree tree- planting operations from Alberta and Madagascar.
