Frequently Asked Questions

Qeyé connects real trees to real people. Every tree can have a visible story—where it grows, who it is for, and how it is cared for over time. We focus on mature planting where possible, survivability, and ongoing stewardship—not a one-off seedling photo.

Environmental outcomes depend on trees that live and grow, and on communities that recognize and protect them. Making care practical and shared increases the chance that plantings last and benefits compound.

Trees do the ecological work, but people decide whether spaces stay green. When residents, institutions, and local actors feel part of the story, maintenance, reporting, and advocacy improve.

Planting is the start, not the whole journey. Registration, monitoring, and transparent updates help show whether trees thrive. CO₂ benefits accrue over years as biomass and healthy ecosystems develop.

Yes—urban trees cool streets, improve air quality, buffer noise, and support biodiversity. Even single specimens can change how a place feels and functions.

They create shade for walking and gathering, support mental well-being, and can strengthen local identity around shared green spaces and stewardship.

It means the tree has a story you can return to—a dedication, a map location, updates over time—so the relationship is visible and lasting, not abstract.

Greener, cooler cities where living infrastructure is tracked, valued, and cared for by the communities around it, with clarity on impact over the years.

Your dedication supports real trees where they are most needed. Over their lifetime they absorb CO₂ as they grow, reducing net climate impact over time. Offset is gradual—not an instant ledger entry.

Through photosynthesis: carbon dioxide is taken from the air and stored in wood, roots, and soil organic matter while oxygen is released.

No—it depends on many factors.

Species, climate, soils, age, and maintenance all matter. Qeyé uses recognized ranges and refines estimates as trees are monitored.

These are places where people experience heat, air quality, and daily life most directly. Visible trees anchor environmental benefits where populations live and work.

We track indicators such as:

• Tree species and region
• Approximate age and growth phase
• Survival and monitoring updates
• Estimated CO₂ range over time

As your tree grows, estimates become more informative through periodic updates.

CO₂ offset happens gradually.

New plantings need time to establish. Accounting begins with planting records and improves as monitoring continues.

They are scientific estimates within ranges, not precision instruments. We aim for transparency about uncertainty and improvements over time.

A living tree, tied to someone you care about or a cause you support, connects emotion to measurable environmental benefit. That pairing—care and evidence—is what makes the work durable.
