Our Story
Leaf.it originated within Enactus EUR as an Innovation Team in March 2024. During our ideation phase, we were alarmed by the destruction and death of forests and ecosystems.​ This led to the birth of our concept around young tree protection. Today, Leaf.it is dedicated to developing solutions that reduce tree mortality rates and post-planting maintenance costs, contributing to the preservation of our planet’s greenery.
