About Us

Empowering a Greener Tomorrow, One Tree at a Time

Hope Takes Root is a U.S.-based nonprofit dedicated to reforesting lands devastated by wildfires, deforestation, and climate change. By leveraging cutting-edge drone technology, artificial intelligence, and community partnerships, we aim to transform barren landscapes into thriving ecosystems.

Our work is deeply rooted in collaboration with Native American communities, honoring ancestral knowledge and respecting cultural heritage. Together, we’re not just planting trees—we’re rebuilding habitats, protecting biodiversity, and inspiring action to combat climate change.

A Vision Born from the Ashes

The story of Hope Takes Root began with Michael Jones, a U.S. Marine and environmental advocate. Growing up in a small town surrounded by forests, lakes, and wildlife, Michael developed a deep connection to nature, only to witness its devastation firsthand.

At Hope Takes Root, we empower a thriving planet by cultivating a movement that unites people, technology, and nature to restore the world’s forests, revitalize devastated landscapes, and promote sustainable development.
