We are Greenstand, we are working on creating a transparent tree tracking system and collecting data on tree survival rates, which will establish a link that can employ people to plant trees and so alleviate poverty in some of the world’s poorest areas.
Success is when planting organizations anywhere in the world can easily adapt this tool as a way to measure and bolster their current impact. We believe that with the data we are collecting we can create a system that can reverse poverty-driven deforestation and accurately measure short and long-term effects of widespread reforestation efforts. A single grown tree can capture almost 50 pounds of carbon a year. Each year there is a net loss of about 10 billion trees on earth. Think Big. We need a net positive now.
What do we need?
A DevOps Engineer who is competent with using Ansible to support us in deploying updates, managing configurations and continuously delivering improvements across Treetracker.

Mission Statement
Greenstand is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization developing open-source technology to address climate change and alleviate poverty through digitizing environmental goods and services. We are made up of about 505 contributors across the globe. Our Treetracker app verifies and tracks individual trees, thus creating transparency in the reforestation sphere. Organizations and donors can locate individual trees and trade their ecological impact. By facilitating ownership of trees and their ecological services, Greenstand allows for tree-growing organizations to stay accountable.
Description
Greenstand develops mobile technology for better forestation techniques. Through our Treetracker app, rural smallholder farmers in some of the most remote communities on the planet are able to earn a sustainable income by planting, caring for, and tracking trees. Each tree grower takes a geotagged photo of their tree and uploads it to the Treetracker’s verification system, where Greenstanders verify that each photographed tree is alive and growing. Verified trees are digitized as Impact Tokens, which can be traded or sold among other Impact Wallet users within the Treetracker app.
Nasiyan was one of our first Treetracker. A single mother living with extreme visual and hearing impairments, she could barely afford to keep food on the table for herself and her three sons. However, since she began growing and tracking trees with Greenstand, her life has been looking up. Her young forest has become a small biodiversity hotspot, and with the income she has earned from tracking trees, she can now afford to send her boys to school.
