In July of 2022, the Atlassian Community launched a campaign called Likes for Trees, where we planted one tree for every "like" on the community during the course of the month.  Our goal was 30,000 trees, which we met - and the Atlassian Foundation matched! - bringing us to 60,074 trees planted.

We've kept the momentum up ever since, most recently planting more trees than ever with Likes for Trees III: The Tree Amigos in July 2024. Stay tuned for your next chance to plant trees with the Atlassian Community!

Wow! What a fantastic campaign! We do need more trees to be planted 🌳🌳🌳

[Peter Van de Voorde]

I love this, we did something similar with the MongoDB Community 2 years ago.

[Craig Nodwell]

Wooooooo
A Tree Should Be Planted For This!!!

[Craig Nodwell]

I've been down with illness and heartache over loss.  I'd even started thinking about not meeting my commitments to the community and if I should just bow out.  Then you go and do this!
This is the first thing I've been excited about since last fall.

A 🌳 should be planted for you @Monique vdB I'm currently feeling rejuvenated just over the thought of this campaign.

[Taranjeet Singh]

@Monique vdB It is great to see the great work of planting trees by Atlassian being continued this year as well! Thank you for sharing the latest updates on this initiative.

[Amanda Barber]

The confetti is always such a pleasant surprise! 🌳🎉

[Hana Kučerová]

A tree should be planted for this :-)!!!

[Alex Koxaras _Relational_]

Let's plant some trees!! Confetti was indeed a bonus!!

[Summer Hogan]

Love that we are doing this again! You go @Monique vdB for sponsoring this effort! 

[Monique vdB]

@Craig Nodwell I'm so glad, we would hate to lose you, my friend!  💚💚💚

[Mayur Jadhav]

Amazing work by @Atlassian and @Monique vdB 

[Nikki Zavadska [Appfire]]

🎉🎉🎉 Confettii!!! Love it - it never gets old :D

[G subramanyam]

More trees🌳🌴again 💗.

[Monique vdB]

Current update to the Tree Tracker, we have planted 165 trees so far just from the votes on the quiz, and our current top three countries are Brazil, Nepal, and Haiti. 🌳

It couldn't be easier to plant 5 trees, so spread the word!

[Danny]

This is great @Monique vdB @do we get to see any photos of the trees planted? 

[Andy Gladstone]

I love this initiative. Can’t wait to watch the tree tracker climb up the thermometer!

[Mirek]

Very good initiative but overall the problem of deforestation is big one.. Hope that it would stop, especially in Brazil where we have a lot of Amazon land. Without it we would soon notice a significant climate change..

[Max Foerster - K15t]

Voted! And again, awesome initiative! 🥳

[Graham Twine]

I am not in any of these countries so should I just wait until i get there?
Maybe I should start planting trees in Cape Town and tell everyone.

Hopefully people in the countries listed see what I am doing and they pickup the baton and do the same in their countries.

This way I am responsible for planting a tree in every country .....

WAIT!!! Countries are a human condition, animals do not care for borders ;)

@Danny I'd love that! You can see a video of their project in Brazil, which we supported last year with 10,000 trees. 

[Dave Liao]
