Herbal Roots Supporting the
Sustainability of Native Medicinal Plants and Reforestation
A PORTION OF THE PROCEEDS FROM EVERY PURCHASE IS DONATED TO PROTECT WILD MEDICINAL PLANTS
United Plant Savers' mission is to support the research, education, and conservation of native medicinal plants, fungi, and their habitats while ensuring renewable populations for use by generations to come.
The future of medicinal plants is a top priority for us.
The work of United Plant Savers involves research, education, and conservation of native medicinal plants and their habitats. United Plant Savers has created herbal conservation sanctuaries all over North America.
We hope that you will join us in this worthwhile and important mission.
DID YOU KNOW THERE ARE MANY MEDICINAL PLANTS THAT ARE AT RISK OF EXTINCTION?

What can you use instead? Often times the choice is simple: choose a cultivated species rather than one harvested from the wild. When cultivated species are not available, then it is best to find a plant analog. An analog is something having an analogy or similarity to something else. For our purposes, this indicates parallels in function or end results between two or more medicinal herbs.
Herbal Roots only uses cultivated herbs in our supplements.
United Plant Savers does exciting works in some of the following areas:
-
Funding the Medicinal Plant Conservation Certificate Program
-
Funding research on ‘At-Risk’ medicinal plants
-
Funding for ‘Planting the Future’ events and workshops
-
Ongoing habitat restoration and preservation at our Botanical Sanctuary and beyond
United Plant Savers has done great work in herbal conservation by supporting conservation and creation of herbal sanctuaries. They promote and support preserving wild herbs we currently have growing, encouraging more farming of medicinal plants to reduce wildcrafting pressures, encouraging forest-grown herbs, and creating new forests for medicinal production and wildcrafting habitat.
The Power of Trees
Our future depends on nature, it provides the essential building blocks for life—clean air, pure water, and fertile soil. Trees are at the heart of this natural system, acting as powerful tools for carbon capture, helping to stabilize our climate and mitigate the impacts of global warming. They hold the land together, preventing erosion and enriching the biodiversity that supports all life on Earth. Forests are nature’s water purifiers, safeguarding our fresh water supply while offering sustainable resources like food, timber, and medicine. Every tree we plant is an investment in the future—nurturing the planet, protecting life, and inspiring hope for generations to come.
Since 2014, One Tree Planted has planted over 135.5 million trees with 378 partners across 82 countries. Through this work, they've restored over 118,518 hectares (292,864 acres) of forest around the world, made 106 cities greener by planting urban trees for environmental justice and tree equity, and more.

DID YOU KNOW?
Air
Trees help to clean the air we breathe. Through their leaves and bark, they absorb harmful pollutants and release clean oxygen for us to breathe. In urban environments, trees absorb pollutant gases like nitrogen oxides, ozone, and carbon monoxide, and sweep up particles like dust and smoke. Increasing levels of carbon dioxide caused by deforestation and fossil fuel combustion trap heat in the atmosphere. Healthy, strong trees act as carbon sinks, offset carbon and reducing the effects of climate change.
Climate
Trees help cool the planet by sucking in and storing harmful greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide into their trunks, branches, and leaves — and releasing oxygen back into the atmosphere. In cities, trees can reduce ambient temperatures by up to 8° Celsius. With more than 50% of the world’s population living in cities — a number expected to increase to 66% by the year 2050 — pollution and overheating are becoming a real threat. Fortunately, a mature tree can absorb an average of 22lbs of carbon dioxide per year, making cities a healthier, safer place to live.
Biodiversity
A single tree can be home to hundreds of species of insect, fungi, moss, mammals, and plants. Depending on the kind of food and shelter they need, different forest animals require different types of habitat. Without trees, forest creatures would have nowhere to call home.
