Since day one, we’ve been committed to giving back to the planet, from rescuing 25 plastic bottles from the ocean with every purchase to now expanding our impact with an exciting new initiative for 2025.
We’re thrilled to announce that starting this year, for every tee, hoodie, or apparel item purchased, we’ll plant a tree in Florida. Through our continued partnership with Greenspark and collaboration with American Forests, this initiative aims to restore critical ecosystems, combat climate change, and protect wildlife in the Sunshine State.
Why Plant Trees in Florida?
Our tree-planting efforts will focus on the Lake Wales Ridge State Forest, a vital component of the Kissimmee Basin ecosystem. This region is more than just a beautiful landscape—it’s a lifeline for Florida’s environment and biodiversity. However, decades of habitat loss and climate change have put the area at risk.
By planting trees, we’re helping to:
- Restore the Native Longleaf Pine Ecosystem: Longleaf pines are crucial for maintaining biodiversity, supporting endangered species, and creating a resilient environment.
- Combat Climate Change: Trees absorb carbon dioxide, helping to mitigate the effects of climate change.
- Improve Water Quality: Forest restoration reduces runoff and filters water, safeguarding Florida’s precious water systems.
- Protect Wildlife: The Lake Wales Ridge is home to diverse species, including some that are found nowhere else on Earth.
How It Works
Every apparel item purchased from High Tide in 2025—whether it’s a cozy hoodie or a sleek tee—directly contributes to this initiative. Through our partnership with Greenspark, we’ll ensure that a tree is planted in Florida’s Lake Wales Ridge State Forest for every item sold. Together, we’re not just making a statement; we’re taking action.
The Bigger Picture: Ocean and Forests, Together
This new tree-planting initiative complements our ongoing efforts to protect the oceans. With every order, High Tide removes 25 plastic bottles from the ocean, tackling marine pollution head-on. Now, with the addition of tree planting, we’re creating a holistic approach to sustainability:
- Healthy Oceans: Supporting marine ecosystems and reducing plastic pollution.
- Healthy Forests: Restoring vital land ecosystems and combating climate change.
By addressing both land and sea, we’re creating a ripple effect of positive environmental impact.

Looking Ahead to 2025 and Beyond
High Tide’s mission has always been about more than products. It’s about building a community that cares for the planet and takes meaningful steps to protect it. As we roll out this initiative in 2025, we’re excited to see the impact we can make—together.
