Your Frequently Asked Questions
Develop a custom project
Of course, here’s how.
Certainly! We have diverse experiences, from large companies to independent professionals. We can guide you through your considerations and the transition to action with PlantC. Your objective becomes ours. Let’s discuss it!
It is possible to commission us to coordinate a community planting event. Please note three key elements: Firstly, planting takes place in autumn/winter. Secondly, this requires coordination time, the purchase of plants, and facilitation on the day of the event. Consequently, you would co-finance the project. Thirdly, this needs to be organized in advance. It is a project that requires advance planning. If we are in the middle of the planting season (autumn/winter), it will be more difficult for us to fulfill your request. Typically, our community planting events focus on planting hedges or orchards. In forests, the methodology is more complex. Lastly, we prioritize groups of 10 to 25 people.
Belgium’s forests cover 23% of the national territory (700,000 ha). The majority of forest areas are located in Wallonia (79.8%), 19.9% in the Flemish Region, and only 0.3% in the Brussels-Capital Region. Essentially, we will do our best, but please note that most of our projects are in Wallonia for this reason.
Yes! First, we listen to your needs, then we explain our method, and finally, we decide which projects are best suited to your objectives. Our mechanism is based on a voluntary and non-certifying approach. This does not preclude our rigorous work and transparent operations. This represents a climate contribution towards global carbon neutrality. Carbon is an attribute, but not the only one. Also consider that our projects are local and offer various positive externalities. Contact us.
We love challenges. Your objective becomes ours. Discover what we offer in this regard and contact us without delay.
At each key stage of the project, we will inform you by email of its progress (e.g., project in progress, funded, completed…). We also verify, especially for plantings, that the survival rate is satisfactory in the spring following the planting. When projects reach 5 years, we re-establish contact with the beneficiary. This does not prevent ongoing dialogue with them in the interim through our communication channels. Furthermore, we invite contributors to visit the completed project and meet the beneficiary. These visits can be exclusive or grouped, depending on the number of contributors per project and registered participants.
We primarily work with private landowners. Public land is already very well managed by public services. To date, we have not received any requests regarding this.
Change lies in the power of collaborating together! We are accustomed to working with organizations that are also very active in the field and are dismayed when a project is hindered by a lack of knowledge, technical expertise, or funding. Are you frustrated by a project that isn’t progressing? Stuck? Let’s discuss it; we will see what we can achieve together!

Our Community of committed contributors! These include citizens, large companies, and individual entrepreneurs. The common denominator? Their desire, like yours, to implement projects for the benefit of the environment.
Unfortunately, no. We only support projects hindered by financial and technical obstacles. We do not financially support projects subject to permits or related to compensation.
When you have a project, it is best to contact us by phone or email. Based on your information, we internally assess the relevance of your project according to our admission criteria. If you decide to work with us, we will indeed be bound by a long-term agreement. However, this is the only administrative document that will need to be signed. As for the rest, you must accept a spotlight on you and your operation!
Since 2020, we have been working in partnership with the Royal Forestry Society of Belgium. Some projects are thus referred to us through this partnership. In parallel, we develop calls for projects with a more specific goal of carbon sequestration. In both cases, we are curious to learn more. Contact us!
It is unlikely that we will be able to assist you. Our support is both technical and financial. In other words, we must validate the technical conditions beforehand and then be able to present your project to our Community of contributors. This is ongoing work; we do not have financial resources readily available in advance.
We are not here to judge. However, we wish to support change where its impact will be most significant. If you are considering a project with impact, it means that, in a way, you are undergoing a transition. We are curious to learn more!
Our projects adhere to the principle of additionality. In other words, would your project materialize without PlantC? Our mechanism is relevant to you if you lack time, technical skills, or financial resources to implement your project.
If you are able and wish to obtain public funding, prioritize it! It can be highly beneficial. If you cannot access it through other means, then our mechanism may be of interest to you. The best course of action is to discuss it.
We are precisely here to assist you. Even if it is an embryonic project, let us discuss it. The sooner we address it, the better. No project is too small or too large. There are no good or bad projects. Let us discuss it!
Firstly, you must own the plot (or have the owner’s consent); have a farmer registration number and demonstrate a long-term commitment to the project.
Secondly, your project must address current challenges. For example: combating biodiversity collapse, limiting soil erosion, protecting crops and farm animals, combating floods, … but there are no good or bad projects, so please feel free to share your ambition with us in the first instance.
We add a fee to the project cost, which enables us to carry out our work: conducting site visits, coordinating the project (from its technical specifications to its follow-up), communicating with beneficiaries and with you, prospecting, etc. We ensure that this fee does not exceed the project’s overall cost. This is why we have decided to support projects of a certain scale. For “smaller” projects, we find alternative solutions.

To choose is to forgo! We have chosen to focus on the resilience Belgium needs to build. Therefore, all our projects are located in Belgium, where our help is needed.
