Where We Work
Spades supports landscape recovery efforts around the world—across forests, drylands, agricultural zones, and post-industrial sites.
Biotech That Restores Land at Scale
Spades uses advanced biotech to improve tree survival and restore landscape productivity at scale. Our science-based model supports agriculture, forestry, and long-term economic growth.
Spades Powers Scalable Landscape Restoration
Harnessing the Power of Trees™, we transform degraded land into productive, investable ecosystems that deliver long-term value.
Over 3 billion people rely on degraded or underperforming land (UN, 2024), with more than 100 million hectares lost each year (UNCCD, 2023). Reversing this trend demands scalable, science-backed solutions.
Spades delivers biotech-enabled restoration that increases tree survival, improves soil performance, and accelerates landscape recovery—turning degraded land into investable, high-yield assets.
