A seaforest is like an underwater forest made up mostly of kelp, a type of giant seaweed that grows on the ocean floor. These "forests" are found in cold, nutrient-rich waters near coasts.
The trees are planted through carefully managed reforestation projects by our philanthropy partner, GreenrGifts. For underwater forests like kelp forests, juvenile kelp or spores are released into the ocean and allowed to grow naturally. In land-based reforestation efforts, tree seedlings are typically planted by hand or with machinery, ensuring that each tree has the best chance to thrive in its new environment. These projects are managed by experienced conservationists who monitor the health of the trees to ensure their growth and survival.
We calculate the number of trees planted based on your highest alliance score in every league meet (WA state FTC participants only). We take your highest score, divide it by 50, and round it to the nearest whole number. That gives us the number of trees we’ll plant on your team’s behalf! It's a simple way to turn your team's success into a positive environmental impact.
Absolutely! We can provide your team with a custom certificate at the end of the season, showing how many trees were planted because of your stellar performance. It’s a great way to celebrate your team's contribution to reforestation efforts. To request your certificate, just contact us at incredibotsftc@gmail.com, and we'll send it your way!
No payment is required from you or your team. Thanks to our generous sponsor, Incorta and our philanthrophy partner, GreenrGifts, we have the funds to plant these trees.
