History of Tree World

Who's behind Tree World and what's its history?

Tree World Plant Care Products Inc. has deep roots in the silviculture community. Incorporated as Tree World in 1988, its early focus was in providing tree seedlings to corporate clients for marketing communication promotions. In 1992, a sister company, Earth-Net Communications, introduced to Tree World a Swedish formulated, 100% organic, animal repellent—Plantskydd™.

Tree World, with the help of many forest industry and nursery cooperators, then initiated, in Canada and the United States, some 50+ operational field trials to test the repellent’s efficacy at significantly reducing animal browse damage. Following the overwhelming success of these tests, the company has subsequently built a successful Plantskydd Animal Repellent distribution network in Canada, the United States and other countries.

Today, the company is focused exclusively on providing plant protection solutions to customers experiencing animal browse damage to their tree plantations, nurseries, woodlots, riparian areas, food crops and gardens.

Tree World actively supports gardening club and master gardener sponsored events. It also hosted the Coastal Silviculture Committee’s 2006 Summer Session—held in Sechelt, British Columbia, Canada.

The company yearly contributes a portion of its retained earnings to Watercan, a registered charitable foundation whose purpose is to provide clean, potable water to global communities in need—especially in Africa.
