Faith communities care for about 8% of the world's habitable land. In the G20 Global Land Initiative Faith Stocktake, 76% of them said they lacked the technical knowledge to restore it. Faiths for Land closes that gap: we train communities, then connect them to the partners and funders who can help them act.
The masterclass and membership are two different things. You are welcome to choose one, or to do both.
A free online course of nine modules that takes you from the big picture to a finished, fundable plan for restoring land where you live. It is open to everyone, and you need no experience to start.
Reserve your free place → About 8 hours 40 minutes in total, taken at your own pace.
Bring your faith community, your expertise, your funding, or your voice in policy into the movement, and connect with partners already restoring land across 84 countries.
Join the Community → A short form asking who you are and where you work.Faiths for Land grew out of two years of work with faith communities, led by the G20 Global Land Initiative and the UNCCD, together with WWF’s Beliefs & Values Programme and the Trillion Trees Initiative. It now runs on its own, and it is open to people of every faith.
When a congregation is ready to grow trees, this is where it finds the technical advice, the seedlings, the funding and the policy backing to do the work well. It is also where partners find communities that are ready to act.
We give faith organizations one place to find the people who can help them, from technical advisers and funders to established restoration groups such as WWF, WRI, and World Vision.
Free training through the masterclass: nine modules built on the six-step Faith Tree Growing framework from WWF and Trillion Trees, with facilitator guides, worksheets, and a circle of fellow learners.
We bring faith leaders together to speak with one voice at United Nations meetings on land and at other global forums. More than 100 organizations from different traditions have signed the Multifaith Call to Action.
Faith-led restoration data sits scattered across hundreds of organizations. We gather it in one place, starting with the 521 projects on our map, and bring the evidence to funders and policymakers.

Faith communities across 84 countries are ready to plant and want technical guidance. Tell us what you offer, from nurseries and species advice to monitoring, and where you work. We will introduce you to the communities that need it.
The network, the training and the mapped projects already exist. What limits the work now is money to get seedlings in the ground and keep them alive. We are raising early funding for 2026 and would welcome a conversation about what you want to support.
Work with organized faith voices ahead of the United Nations land summit in Mongolia and across global land and climate talks. Tell us what you are working towards and how faith communities could strengthen it.
