Planting a Tree for a Greener Future: How Your Camper Van Rental Makes a Difference

When you book one of our camper vans, you’re not just preparing for an unforgettable adventure—you’re also making a positive impact on the environment. By simply ticking "YES, I want to plant a tree" during the booking process, you’re supporting our mission to reduce CO2 emissions and help restore our forests. Every tree planted contributes to a healthier, greener planet, and we’re excited to have you on board in this important mission.

Caring About Our CO2 Footprint

If you’re reading this article, it’s clear that you care about the impact tourism has on our environment—specifically the CO2 emissions produced by travel. We share that concern and believe that every small action can lead to a bigger change. That’s why we’ve created this initiative: to turn your booking into a meaningful contribution to the environment.

Supporting "Drevo za Cerje"

At the end of each season, we’ll tally up all the donations made through your tree planting support and contribute the collected funds to a project close to our hearts: Drevo za Cerje ("A Tree for the Town of Cerje"). This initiative is dedicated to restoring the forests in the Carst region of southwest Slovenia, which were ravaged by a devastating wildfire in August 2019.

The fire destroyed large swathes of forest, including native trees that had long been a symbol of the area’s natural beauty. However, amid the devastation, a miracle occurred—the "Pomnik Miru" (Monument of Peace), a beautiful landmark symbolizing peace, friendship, and tolerance, stood untouched.

Rebuilding What Was Lost

Your contributions to Drevo za Cerje not only help in ecological restoration, but they also carry a profound historical and symbolic meaning. By donating, you’re not just planting trees—you’re helping to restore a piece of history and supporting the values of peace and resilience that the monument represents.

Together, we’re working to heal the land, nurture the environment, and preserve the beauty of Slovenia’s Carst region. The people of Cerje, all Slovenians, and the planet as a whole are deeply grateful for your support.

A Big Thank You from Us and the Earth

Through your tree donations, you’re making a tangible difference in the fight against climate change and contributing to the healing of the land. Your support helps us honour both the environment and the community, ensuring that future generations can enjoy the same beauty that was once lost.

So, whether you’re exploring Slovenia’s picturesque landscapes or simply enjoying the open road, know that you’re playing a part in something much bigger than your trip.

Together, we’re planting trees for a better tomorrow.

Thank you for making the world a greener place! 🌱
