Each book sold is one tree planted.
An environmentally sustainable independent bookshop (and café) for booklovers committed to reforestation. The Chestnut Tree is honoured to operate on the land of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and the Bunurong of the Kulin Nation (a.k.a. West Footscray, a.k.a. #wefo in the inner west of Melbourne).
Buy any of our wide range of fiction or non-fiction books and plant a native tree in the bushfire-affected areas of Australia.
Buying books has never felt so good.

The Chestnut Tree Bookshop is committed to protecting our environment. So we’re pledging to plant one tree for every book we sell. Buy a book and help plant millions of trees across Australia to recover forests affected by the 2019-20 Black Summer Bushfires and restore native habitat vital for wildlife.
The Chestnut Tree Bookshop is a proud member of the Australian Booksellers Association.
We acknowledge that the shop operates on the land of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and the Bunurong of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to the traditional owners, their elders (past and present) and recognise that sovereignty was never ceded.
