The campaign

THREES FOR TREES

Green Play's first ever campaign! For every three pointer that UBC basketball makes at home this season, we will fund the planting of a native tree in a Canadian ecosystem that needs restoration. Follow along to see how big of an impact we can make together, and help us expand into new sports and add new universities by year 2.

STEP 1

UBC drains a Three

Green Play will track every 3-pointer made by UBC Thunderbirds men's and women's basketball teams at home this season.

STEP 2

We plant a Tree

Each three-pointer funds the planting of one native tree to help reforest areas in need across Canada.

STEP 3

Rooted for the Long Term

Tree Canada plants trees with local partners, monitoring for survival โ€” athletic achievement becomes lasting environmental impact in Canadian forests.

BONUSES

Extra ways to help grow Canadian forests. Every game brings new changes to increase the impact.

BONUS 1

Double Trees

When a team drains 10 or more threes in a single game, the tree count for that game is doubled. Hot hands grow forests faster.

BONUS 2

Buzzer Beater Bonus

If a three-pointer drops at the buzzer during the game, three extra trees are planted on top of the regular count. Every last-second heave counts.

BONUS 3

Half Court Buzzer Beater

A three-pointer from half court that beats the buzzer plants 10 extra trees on top of the regular count. Ten at once, from way downtown.

BONUS 4

Shooting Star Award

After each game, the player who hit the most three-pointers earns the "Shooting Star" Award โ€” recognition for the sharpest shooter on the court.
